Wow, that was NOT fun
For 14 months, Emmie was oblivious to the world of teeth. She knew nothing of teething pain or crabbiness. Middle-of-the-night wakings she was intimately familiar with, however, but that was because she wanted to eat round the clock her first 11 months and then spent the next three months after that on nonstop illnesses.
But now she's cutting her third tooth in a month and all hell broke loose last night. The poor kid was whimpering in her sleep on and off and woke up screaming like she was being tortured at 4:30 this morning.
A quick dose of Tylenol and a little rocking and she was back to sleep by 4:45 a.m. Except she did the same thing again at 6:15 a.m. Then Jack decided to join the party at the ungodly hour of 6:30 and we were all up for the day.
Have you ever been headbutted at 6:30 in the morning? You haven't? Because if that's not the best way to start your day, I don't know what is.
I'll be going to bed now since I have been awake for 16 hours and will likely be awake again in the wee hours of the night since the tooth is still a white bump juuuuust under the surface of the gum. And we only have about 14 more teeth to go before she's all done! I will never sleep again will I?

I remember those days. One night, Josh is going to have to take up the slack because you are going to drop into bed and not awaken from a dead sleep for hours. Have faith. Remember you made it through your son. I used Highlands Teething tablets on both of my kids. They are all natural and found at GNC. You put one in a spoon of water or in her mouth and let the drool melt it. They are great. Good luck to you. From a mom of 2.
ugh! I'm a girl who needs her sleep, so I sympathize with you. Give her motrin at bedtime and hopefully it will get her through the nite.
Oh, have I been there. i love you blog...very funny stuff. I loved the headbutt! all the best!
