Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

I Can Has Scrapbook?

April 19, 2011 — 12:25 am

It occurred to me that I have a little over a month until Kate’s birthday. This means I have a little over a month until I need to have her scrapbook done and printed out, as I really want to have it on display at her birthday party. Needless to say I’ve been spending all my spare time scrapping!

The crib sleeping has been going just fine, she’s actually really impressing me with how well she’s adapted. Unfortunately the teething is really rough right now – waking frequently, short naps, and today she had red cheeks and a 101 degree fever. She’s just miserable. She really doesn’t want to play with any of her toys right now, just walks straight to wherever I am, clings to my arm or leg, and whines until I pick her up. Then she tries nursing but isn’t hungry so she ends up gnawing on my nipple. I am less than pleased with that. No outright bites, but she’s testing the waters. And of course because of how sad she feels when I put the boob away she just bursts into snotty-nosed tears. :(

    Put a clean damp washcloth in the freezer and give it to her to gnaw on. Really helps the pain.

    Tried that… she didn’t seem all that thrilled by it. :/ We’re doing anbesol + tylenol, especially before going to bed, and it seems to at least help.
