January 20, 2009 - Teething Bites (41 Weeks)

Baby Daniel has been having a tough week. His upper two teeth are about to make their grand entrance but not without giving our little one much discomfort. He has been irritable, needy, restless, and sometimes inconsolable. We’ve been using Orajel, Humphrey’s, and Infant Tylenol which has helped somewhat. On Friday, Daniel noticed that he was tugging at his ear, so he made an appt. for him to be seen at Kaiser that evening. It turns out that besides teething, he has a mild ear infection and a cold. He was given penicillin to take for 10 days. We can deal with the lack of sleep, but what pains us is to see him crying out in pain. “Becoming a big boy is hard!”
*On Sunday, the teeth finally broke through.
** In a few hours our 44th president will be sworn in. Here's hoping and praying for a better future!

i'm sorry to hear about the teething! yikes!!! Some of my family gave me the idea of using tequila, and it worked! I got so buzzed, I slept thru the crying! lol j/k... Actually there is a really great product that I've heard moms from my moms club use, and the sell it at the 99cent Store on Whittier Blvd. They swore by it! Good Luck... and remember... this too will pass...
