than a sick baby that is... parker came down with a fever last night and was up sniffling, coughing & crying until about 7am. at that point i gave her a dose of motrin which she promptly threw up all over the bed (and r). she was up until 10 and then she finally fell back to sleep until noon-ish. today she's been so whiny and miserable but mom had to leave for the city at 4.00 and r for work at 5.00, so it's been the two of us all evening. and holy cow, it's only 9.15!
