Blake has officially been "teething" since she was about 3 months old...she's now 5 1/2 months old. What do we have to show for it you might ask? Several sleepless nights, 2 teeth that are only 1/3 of the way in, drool fest 2010, fussiness and wasted money on all possible teething remedies to find that none of them work! I truly thought we were going to be ok with this whole teething debacle a month ago. She had 2 nights where she woke up once and then the teeth broke thru the gums and I thought to myself, "that wasn't so bad!" That was where I screwed up - I thought I had beat the system! As all things in my life tend to go it went downhill rapidly! haha. My sweet girl went from sleeping 12 -13 hours a night to sleeping about 3 hours a night. The past 3 nights I have gotten up with her pretty much every hour from 10:30pm on. Needless to say I am deliriously tired, very frustrated and wanting nothing more than sleep! I feel bad for her b/c it's obvious she's in pain as well, but give me a friggin' break here! Elizabeth Sparks said it best, "
Isn't it bizarre how in the beginning you got WAY less sleep than you are getting now with her waking up...but once you get used to your baby sleeping - you don't want to give it up!?!?" It blows my mind that I was able to function at all in the first 6 weeks of her life when she was basically up every 2 hours...I have been so spoiled these last few months! I want my sleeping baby back!!!!
I'm sorry that you are having to go through that. . . BUT those are some pretty cute pics! ;-)
