Teething

I knew it couldn't last.

One of Grace's bottom teeth starting poking through last week. For the first couple days it didn't seem to bother her at all. She was still sleeping through the night, she wasn't fussy, she was drooling a little bit but nothing major. Several times I thought "wow, even teething doesn't bug our easy-going girl!"

Last night she was up for about two hours, screaming and crying. We tried some cold teething toys and brought her in bed with us to snuggle but she was obviously uncomfortable and in pain so we didn't wait too long to give her some Tylenol. It still took a while to kick in. After a diaper change, bottle, and more snuggles she was finally back to sleep around 1:30am. She woke up crying at 6:00 this morning, and this girl never wakes up crying.

Poor baby.
And poor Daddy is going to be tired at work today!

Poor little pumpkin! Hopefully it pokes through soon and she gets some relief.

ugh, I hate teething. Sorry to hear poor Grace is in pain - and sorry for your lack of sleep, too!
