I finally figured out the problem, but I'm having some trouble actually
solving the problem. She's teething. Teething sucks. I hate teething.
Teething needs to take a hike! We've gotten teething gel and teething
tablet thingies. I'm not actually convinced that either one work or are
helping at all, but I am going to keep trying them because something has
got to give. It's been two nights now since I have slept for more than
an hour or two. I am cranky. I am tired. Plus, I feel like a horrible
mom because I'm getting angry at her for crying. She's in pain and evil
mommy is getting mad. Who does that?? I am such a jerk!
I've googled a whole bunch of different teething tips and I'm planning on trying ALL OF THEM! So far we've tried:
Teething toys put in the fridge - She likes these
Teething binky from MAM - even the stage 1 is too big for her, two thumbs down
Cool teether from MAM - too big for her, can suck on a corner if I hold it, but still isn't that fond of it
Wooden toys - Not at all, two thumbs down
Cold, wet wash cloth - undecided
My finger - LOVE at first tooth
I also ordered some Razbaby special teething binkies from the US. They will arrive right before we do, so I'll keep you all updated on how she likes them.
Ok, so I need to give a special shout out to my mother-in-law. She has been sooooo amazing this week helping out with Alexa and giving me a little "find your sanity and regroup" break. I am so appreciative for her help. With Michael in Vienna, I am quickly and certainly losing my mind a lot faster than normal.
