I know this to be true for Ryan and I. We both run a normal body temperature around 97.8, almost a whole degree off what is considered normal.

Moms it could be a good idea to monitor your child's temp over a few days when they are not sick so you can calculate what your child's "normal" temperature is.

That is interesting Amanda! Ryan and I, and my Dad too, are always cold. It is funny how things like this can be genetic and run down hill. I have always thought that our lower body temp could be a contributor.
