Our LO has her first fever. Just checked, it's 101.9. She has all symptoms of teething (minor diaper rash, lots of drool, a little runny nose, and chewing on everything). Aside from that, she seems totally fine. Happy as can be. She's 12 months old, has 7 teeth, and has never had a fever with them before.

Her first birthday (and party) is tomorrow, and it's a Sunday, so I won't have a chance to talk to the doctor until Monday.

Wondering what I could look for that would indicate an infection of some kind (temp wise, or behavior). And, since we've never been through a fever before, I don't know if we should cancel the party now ... wait until the morning? I just don't know how fast a fever can change/go away, or if she's contagious. Yikes! Can you tell I'm a first time mom?!
