Well, it is official. Adrianna is cutting her first tooth. She has been really fussy the past couple of days, which is so out of the norm for her. My mom suggested I feel her gums for a tooth to see if our teething hunch was correct. Sure enough, there is a sharp little tooth beginning its ascent through her lower gum.<\/p>\n
Poor baby. It is really causing her a lot of pain. At times she is inconsolable. Or, if we are lucky, we can get her to calm down by pacing the floor and bouncing her. I did that off and on for a couple hours today, so I am pretty worn out. Carrying an almost-20 pound screaming child around isn’t exactly easy. My arms better get buff after all this!<\/p>\n
Another thing that seems to work well is singing to her. It is amazing how many children’s songs can be recalled to memory when one is desperate for a few minutes of relative peace and quiet. I sang to her for about 20 minutes straight today and it actually put her to sleep. Is it a good thing or a bad thing that she falls asleep to my singing?<\/p>\n
Thank goodness for Baby Anbesol and Baby Tylenol. Without them, I would be pulling my hair out. I hope this teething thing passes quickly so Greg and I can get some rest and sleep.<\/p>\n
On a side note, I am also very thankful that my mom was kind enough to drive down from Wyoming to babysit Adrianna yesterday morning and this morning so that I could get to work, as Greg had all day meetings for his job and couldn’t watch her in the mornings like he normally does. That was a huge help. She even let me drive her car to work today, since Greg had our car. I am thinking it is time for us to get a 2nd vehicle again. Believe it or not, we are actually considering looking at mini-vans. Oh, how everything changes after having a child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
