Let me preface this by saying my LO is okay, and hopefully will stay that way.
So she slept okay last night, and this morning, I took her to daycare -- it was my first day back at work, and thank god I only scheduled myself for a half day.

Scariest day of my life :( - UPDATE with PIP

UPDATE:
First off, thank you all SO much for your kind words and support. I read every single one and the comments made me feel so much better. Willa had a great night - we did one more dose of Tylenol around 8pm, and she hasn't had any since. Her temp just now was 98.4 - woohoo! That means no CBC blood test. The doctor called me first thing this morning to check on her, and they think the fever was still because of her Friday shots. Her rash has faded dramatically, except on her cheeks, but even that looks better.
We're quarantined at home today and I'll be keeping an eye on her rash and her temp. I've been getting a ridiculous number of smiles this morning, which makes me think she's on the mend - sick babies don't giggle, right?
Thank you all again.
My happy girl!!
Willa got her 2 month shots this past Friday, and spent the weekend fussy/sleepy/feverish - normal reactions to the vaccines. She also stopped pooping as soon as she got those shots, and didn't go again until Sunday evening. Last night, she finally pooped, and then screamed bloody murder for 3 hours straight - we think there were gas issues causing her pain.
So she slept okay last night, and this morning, I took her to daycare -- it was my first day back at work, and thank god I only scheduled myself for a half day.
Around 1pm, I got a phone call from daycare saying Willa had spiked a fever of 107. I freaked my fucking shit - jumped in the car, sped like a demon, ran about 12 red lights - I literally hopped the curb at the daycare and left the car running so I could get inside. They saw me coming and immediately tried to calm me down, because the lady had said 100 POINT 7. Not 107. Logically, I should have realized that 107 would have meant an ER trip, and that the daycare would have called an ambulance and whatnot. But I panicked, because who the hell says "one hundred seven" to a FTM?! Or at least doesn't clarify when my response on the phone was to freak out?!
This is incredibly dramatic, but I literally fell to me knees and started weeping at the sheer relief of that news. I had a full blown ugly cry in front of 4 or 5 daycare workers... I had never felt such panic in my life. I calmed down and called my husband, and took W to the doctor. They think her fever is a response to the shots still, or potentially something I caught (I currently have a fever too.) W also has a rash from head to toe - which is fading as the Tylenol takes effect. Willa's been eating a ton, pooped twice since we got home, and even gave me some smiles - so I hope to god she's on the mend.
So, lesson is to ask twice if they tell me she has a fever? Never get shots again? Or quit my job and never let her leave my side? 
Such a scary day.
Such a scary day.
