A Couple of Pearlies

A week ago, actually almost two weeks ago (sorry for the late, late update), I got up with Addie on Sunday (the 17th to be exact) to let Tommy sleep in. This was because the night before (Friday night), Addie woke up, which she rarely does, and would NOT go back down. We ended up sleeping together (or at least she slept) in the guest bed until around 6, when I made Tommy get up with her and I went back to sleep until around 10. Back to Sunday, I was playing with Addie where I used my hand to make her sound funny, you know? Regardless, I felt something that did NOT used to be there - a tooth! She refused to let me see anything, but I dug around in there and it was definitely a tooth! When Tommy got up he was able to see a tiny bit of white. I guess this is why we bunked together Friday night.

She has now cut her second tooth, and we have now also made our 3rd trip to the Doctor for teething. Yep, we are those parents. She had cut down on almost all milk-drinking, was fussy, fussy, fussy, and was not sleeping well. I'd just rather help the Dr. make her mortgage payment than wonder if she has an ear infection or something like that. Thankfully, nothing else was wrong, but we are on Motrin every night for at least a week. The little teeth have barely cut the gums, one more than the other, but this is apparently the most painful part. I hate it for her!

Part of the reason why this post is so late is because I was in hopes to share it with you with a picture - not gonna happen. You should have seen the position I had to hold Addie Kate in while the Doctor looked in her mouth. I had to ask Dr. M. what they looked like, because we certainly didn't know! Oh well, I know I'll see them soon enough, and I'll share them with all of you!
