Oh Hello.
So Saturday night was another night from the Underworld. The baby woke up just shy of one million times, cuz her po' gums was in PAIN. Her first tooth is right on the verge. It's like waiting for an egg to hatch, I swear.
Last night was a little better, until about 4 am. Then the wailing and gnashing of Noteeth began again.
I tried to nurse her while Dan grabbed the meds. He gave them to her, and she drank the sweet motrin nectar like it was Supermilk or something.
Dan was so exhausted that he didn't even get back under the covers. He just fell face forward onto the bed at an angle, and he never really moved after that.
In my groggy state, I asked him, "Why...are you planking? Whyareyouplanking??"
He never answered. He continued sleeping that way throughout the night.

Well. I know what I saw.
Man, we're both exhausted.
I have no grand point to make. I just wanted to whine about it for a sec, let you know I'm breathing over here and
Is your road a little rough lately?
Mama knows, honeychild. You ain't alone.
:)
ReplyDeleteMy litttle one is right there too. I'm thankful for coffee. And her amber necklace. It really makes a difference - brings her down a few notches.
ReplyDeleteYou really shouldn't give your baby coffee, there's half your problem right there...
DeleteBwahahaha! I obviously need a cup myself.
HA! I really want to say something equally as awesome but I'm just too tired. 8)
Deletehahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha loled for real! as always! I was just marveling last night at how my child is another being when he's no longer teething. Like all of a sudden I realize I like my baby again when it's over.
ReplyDeleteTeething is the worst!!!!!!!
I am convinced that painful teething is a result of the Fall.
ReplyDeleteBAHAHAHAHA. Planking.
ReplyDeleteNo teething, but we have our own brand of carazy-ness up in here. So...I feel you. That looks creepy all typed out like that. Maybe I'll just give you the commiserating nod from across the room instead.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of cyber sympathy from my empty nest ........
ReplyDeletePoor mama. Poor hubby. Poor baby.
ReplyDeleteI was just telling my friend today that at certain moments I am absolutely DYING to have another baby (my youngest is 2+) and then at other moments I'm all... Well this is nice. Whatever, it's bound to happen again, and I will be happy when it does. Right now I'm happy to enjoy the respite from wailing and gnashing of Noteeth, too.
Oh, but once they are in they're so darn cute!!!
ReplyDeletePoor baby! And I feel bad for your daughter too :-)
ReplyDeleteSending commiserating mom hugs your way!! Sometimes I take great glee in waking my 11-year-old for school. It's kinda like a mini-payback for al those screaming nights, and a lovely reminder that yes, someday the baby will actually sleep through the night, and teeth will no longer be all-consuming.
ReplyDeleteUgh, we're there, too. Last night I got about 5 hours of sleep. Which is much better than the night last week where I only got 3...
ReplyDeleteThat was a timely post for me to read! I sent it to my husband! That has been the scenario at our house the last two nights! Only in the wee hours of this morning, baby boy decided to nurse sideways and flutter kick my husband for about an hour. We all got up before six, and of course baby decided it was finally time to sleep!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the joy!

Ha! My husband has done the same thing! What's annoying is when he does it sideways, leaving no room for me! Hope the teeth come through pronto so everyone can get some sleep!
ReplyDeleteSolidarity, sleepy mama.
ReplyDeleteWe always know we are TIRED when we sleep like that, face down, and then wake up with a pillow crease on our faces. Feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me laugh - hope it makes you feel better knowing that your suffering cheers other people up! Well, truthfully, if you weren't able to see the humor it wouldn't bring cheer. May God bless and strengthen you and reward your labors of love!
ReplyDeleteIt has been many years since I experienced this, however, my question is, is it worst than colic? Thanks to all of you for sharing it does bring back memories and laughter.
ReplyDeleteTeething is the worst! I don't think it's worse than colic though, to answer Fr.Philip. (Not sure if he was really execting an answer, but oh well.) At least teething is a few days at a time while colic can go on for months and months! But yes, teething is terrible! Lots of tylenol and Motrin! Hope it passes quicklyT
ReplyDeletePLANKING OMG so funny
