The Joys of Teething

Teething disrupts all that you've worked so hard to get on schedule.  Why is it that just as your life starts to get back on track with a baby, teeth come along to throw your life into a tailspin yet again?  Liv's two bottom teeth broke through right around the time she turned 4 months, which was accompanied with lots of drooling, night time crankiness and stuffiness.  My husband asked if were now in the clear for awhile? Ha oh how naive he is.  I didn't want to break the bad news that we are in for the long haul, and we were just lucky to start this fun process earlier than most.  Honestly, I should be counting my blessings because Liv did not experience some of the normal teething symptoms like fever or diaper rash.  But she has taken to biting me while breastfeeding. So this teething process has effected me in more ways than one.  Our nighttime routine to combat this stage has become tylenol for the pain along with saline nose drops and a humidifier for the stuffiness.  Seems to be working so far, keeping my fingers crossed that it continues.

Runny nose day and night but she is cute
