The epitome of sleep deprivation


Noah's teething pain is at an all time high. He woke up at midnight in a lot of pain and wouldn't nurse. He didn't want to open his mouth at all. It was so sad to see him hurting so bad. Nothing helped. We did Tylenol, Motrin, Orajel. I had to pry his mouth open to get all of them past his gums. After Rob gave up and went to bed I turned off all the lights and T.V. and filled a bottle with cold milk. He didn't drink the bottle but liked chewing the cold nipple and letting it drip in his throat. Then he finally dozed off at 3:00. I thought he would be exhausted and sleep late this morning but he woke up at 6:00 and was finally able to nurse. He's still in a lot of pain and it's going to be a long day. Rob is at the store right now buying those Hyland's Teething Tablets. We'll see if that helps.

did the teething tablets work? I am sorry he is not feeling well. Sick babies are the worst, you just don't know how to make them feel better.

Heidi, Yes I'm so tired. I was hoping to go to bed early tonight but now i have to sit up and wait for Ashley to get home from babysitting. *sigh*

Abi. I think they work. He seemed more comfortable after I gave them to him. i'll keep them close by tonight in case he wakes up. I'm hoping he'll be too tired.

Is Lily in a good mood despite her fever? Luke just got a fever tonight too. Maybe Noah is sick and teething at the same time. ugh.
