Down for the count

That's how Zoe has been since last Wednesday, down for the count. So, when I took her for her 15 month wellness check up her Pediatrician's office had the H1N1 shot available, after thinking it over I decided to get her the shot. How come 2 hours after getting her shots she starts running a fever of 101? This continued and even got up to 103 through Saturday. We took her back to her Ped on Saturday morning because she was still running a fever, nurse said it must be a virus. I'm sure part of it may be a virus but the other part of me truly believes the shots had some sort of influence as well. She is still not 100% but definitely feeling better, thank goodness. It has been a long and tiring few days. I hate seeing her sick but man I love holding that baby girl and trust me, all she wanted me to do was hold her.

Let's talk about something different. Can you believe it is almost Thanksgiving? I can't believe I am going to turn 32 on Friday the 20th. Bryan will turn 32 on Thanksgiving. Yep, that's right he has him an older woman by 6 days and he loves to rub it in every year. Christmas is right around the corner. I am so ready to put up decorations. I just want to be able to enjoy them longer. I have already been listening to Christmas music, how crazy is that? Do you think it is to early to put up decorations.
To all the Moms & Dads with little ones, how do you keep the kiddos out of the Christmas tree? Zoe will be 16 months and into everything. I am worried about her putting the pine needles in her mouth or the ornament hooks or pulling the tree over on top of her...I am stressing out. What did you guys do?
Some feedback would be great. I am thinking we will put up an artificial tree but the fake needles from the tree still fall off....argh, what to do?
