And then there was....SLEEP!

For the past two weeks and two days (can't forget the days!!) Taylor has been waking up at night just screaming!! It happens about 4-5 times a night. I KNOW it's teething, because that one teeny tiny irritating tooth is just about to break into this world!! It also doesn't help that she is so congested that she can hardly breathe! We feed her two of the times but the other 2-3 times we have to hold and rock her back to sleep. Just giving her the pacifier won't give her justice. She just pushes it away and cries harder. I have become so tired and run down, that in my pilates classes I am just weak and shaky! It's horrible!! BUT last night she went to bed at her usual 8:00 o'clock time and I did go in and give her the pacifier around 12:30, but the next time I heard a peep come from her room was around 5:45!! After her belly was full she fell back asleep until almost 8!! I was late for my class because we slept in too late!! Yipee!! I have found that teething tablets work great (and motrin) BUT my new best friend for the pain is Gripe Water. I used it alot when she was younger for those "gassy" days, but I was getting her motrin out of the cupboard the other day and I saw the bottle and I remembered it also helps with teething. I give it to her and she is not irritable when awake and sleeps soundly! The all around miracle drug! ;)
