Teething Sucks!!!

Charli has two new teeth. She has two more right at the surface and two others where the gums are red and swollen. Needless to say it's not fun. For the most part it doesn't bother her. No fever, ear aches or diaper disasters. Sleep on the other hand is what is disturbed. Her 10-12 hours of nighttime sleep have dwindled to about 8. She wakes up happy but it doesn't take long and she's needy, crabby and wanting to be held. This makes for a lot of fun at the office.... And swimming lessons tomorrow should be interesting...

I am hoping that these teeth come through rather quickly. I personally don't function as well myself on the 5-6 hours of sleep I'm getting. I know I shouldn't complain that's a lot by some standards. I just happen to be a person who does better with more than 6 hours a night. Oh, well this too shall pass.

Tylenol and Motrin will soon be your best friend. Don't be afraid to use them. They'll really help her sleep at night and get back to her normal 10-12 hours.
Don't let this recent pattern become a habit . . .
It won't last too long!
