Why is the simple process of cutting teeth so darn cruel?While our experience is way milder than so many kids I've heard about, it still seems to be unnecessarily difficult. She's been experiencing cold symptoms: congestion, runny nose, mild fever, as well as red, chapped cheeks, and being alternately hyperactive and super tired at night. I woke up several times last night to hold her at an incline, letting the mucous drain so she could fall asleep peacefully. It was also difficult for her to nurse since her nose is so plugged up.
On the plus side, all those teeth are really helping her with her solid foods. Her favourite is chicken fingers, but she also likes bananas, nectarines, tomato (surprise!), Nutrios (these are "nutritious", not "cheery"!). It's hard when she won't accept anything on a spoon--she wants to do it! But as long as her weight gain is still good, I'm just going to go with it. We'll try really hard to make it in to the health unit on Monday so we can check on that just to be sure.Other than that, it's just another wild Saturday night: two 30-year-olds staying home, watching movies on TV while the baby sleeps in the bedroom . . .
