I HATE Teething!!!! (And so does Isabella)

You would think after getting 8 teeth in our little girl's mouth, we'd know how to handle teething. The only problem with that is Isabella is different with every tooth. The first four teeth she got in resulted in no teething. Then it all went downhill. She is apparently making up for lost time with all other teeth.

Right now is the worst time of teething we have had. She just got in her last incisor. She has been getting in her first molars for about two months now. The other day, I could actually see them, and her cuspids, in her gums. They are all very close to the surface.

Last night and tonight, she had to be rocked to sleep! That's the first time in eleven months we've had to do that! Last night it took me about twenty minutes to get her to sleep; it took Jeff almost an hour tonight. I don't want rocking her to sleep to become a habit. We worked hard to get her to sleep through the night, and I am annoyed with teething for ruining that!!!!!

My usually happy, good natured baby is a clingy, cranky, inconsolable mess. Poor baby!!!

TEETHING GO AWAY AND LEAVE MY BABY ALONE!!!! LOL

  2. Thanks! She's getting in her cuspids and her first molars. On the right hand side, they are just about through (for all that means, since popping through could still take awhile)
