What a day this has been!!! Elizabeth is cutting two incisors, one on top and one on bottom, which I know is making her miserable. They are **so** close to cutting through–I can see the clearish, white of the top of the tooth. On top of that, she was VERY restless in her sleep last night (up five times before 11 pm) which was partly because of the teeth as well, I’m sure. I’ve tried every trick out there, short of some Jack Daniels on the gums. And I’m getting to where I am considering the Jack Daniels!! If not for her, maybe for me!!! LOL That might be the best idea–I can have some and then she’ll get some when she nurses. Sharing the joy is what I believe in. 
Knock on wood but she hasn’t screamed in about 15 minutes. Record for the day. She’s spent most of the day rubbing her little eyes and being worn in a carrier. I know she’s miserable. And tired. (She also believes in sharing the joy so I’m also tired & miserable. LOL). I hope tonight and tomorrow is a better day. I don’t like seeing her so miserable.

AmyW “Sorry you both are having such a miserable day. Have you tried teething tablets? They seemed to help and are supposed to be all natural. I got them for my second two at Walmart. Hope things get better for you both quickly.”

Tricia “Yep, we use ‘em. Though I like another all-natural product I found better. It is called Chamalia–same basic “recipe” but it is a liquid and E will take that better when her gums hurt than me sticking my finger in there for the Hylands. This stuff is in a little tube of harder plastic so she can chew on that at the same time.”
