What a cruel world this is.

Teething + 90 degrees = one terrible horrible no good very bad day :(














At least we're pretty sure she's teething - gnawing on her fists all the time since Friday. Whiney even when it's not that hot. Doesn't show interest in any of the teething "things" - frozen washcloth (too cold to hold onto for long) - blue cold teether - vibrating corn teether - ice cube wrapped in a washcloth - nothing. Just wants to chew her fists - and our fingers. We've tried tylenol a couple times, but no real noticable difference. I bought motrin today - and wouldn't you know it - she fussed for like 3 minutes after I nursed her then she passed out on my chest and has been asleep for about an hour now.

Oh, these pictures were yesterday, not today. She was at daycare today and acted very much the same way there. I wish her AC was working :( At least the basement there is cool.

The necklace she's wearing is supposed to help with teething pain. Obviously that was a gimmic that I fell for and it is pretty useless. At least that day it was. I'm sure we'll try it again - I'll try anything.

Oh baby! I'm so sorry! In my experience (I've helped erupt 5 teeth), Motrin is da bomb of all teething aides. And we've tried it all. Except for the Amber necklace.

we're teething too. the teething crackers seem to help our fuss basket, until there gone. Thanks for the advice on the amber teething necklace...i think i'll skip that one.

Girl, our kids totally look related! If I had a yellow FB, I would take a pic of him in it so that we could compare more. How much does she weigh?

RYN: No. I'm just going to wait and see if my period comes. I'm thinking somewhere in the next two days.
I felt crampy this morning, so I'm pretty sure it's on it's way. I can't help but be disappointed. But I know the chances of getting pregnant in the first couple months are slim.
