3 Days of Day Care = Sick Baby Already!

I wonder if that's a record, 3 days into the day care routine, and Caroline has come down with her first illness - fever and diarrhea. Since she is slightly past the 3 month mark, the doctor was not as concerned as she might have otherwise been, however we did have to provide blood samples, stool samples, urine samples, and still another stool sample which I need to drop off later on today. Even though by the time we got to the doctor's office her temperature had dropped on its own from a high of 100.4 down to 99.5. I wonder if its written on her chart that Dad's a pediatrician, and this is why my children seem to get overzealous treatment at the doctor's office? (We did not see our regular doctor, who of course knows this). At any rate, the rate of diarrhea seems to have slowed somewhat, and she is drinking a bit more now, and napping comfortably / seems happy. Oh, and she is now 16 pounds, 4 oz!
