Teeth - entirely new territory

Now I know for sure, because last night she began teething. I can't quite feel a tooth yet, but she woke up at 3am and would not go back to sleep, wailing in utter unhappiness. No matter what I did, she could not be consoled. By 6am, I got worried and brought her to Dav who was sleeping on the sofa for a decent night's rest. Dav suggested I look up teething on the internet and the description was spot on. The force of her struggle is so new that I'm convinced this is it.

By 6am both she and I were exhausted. But I could understand the context; she couldn't. Her tired face, so desperately wanting to sleep was so hard to see. She collapsed in fatigue several times only to wake up shortly after. The first picture here is when she finally slept a little.

At 7am, I went to the pharmacy and bought baby ibuprofen and some teething gel. The ibuprofen made a world of difference, and she was back to her happy self. Miracle!! Now I can work.

Man, people aren't joking when they make a big deal about teething!
