Teething Hell...again

The bug has 8 teeth so far and on Sunday night she was working on another. Usually when she is teething she gets really thick drool, a diaper rash and her cheeks get all rosy, there is only a mild amount of fussing. Well, what I'm now calling a mild amount. She was fine all day Sunday but then around 8pm she started screeching. It's not just your regular crying, that I can handle to an extent, it was borderline hyper-ventilating. Those deep gasping breaths in between cries and eventually between the breaths and the cries, yawns.

Two point five hours of straight crying. Nothing would comfort her. I held and rocked her, O did, favourite stuffed toy, pacifier, frozen yogurt to numb her gums (she wold not suck on it), anbesol, a dill pickle, formula... Finally we put her in the truck and drove around our neighbourhood for an hour to calm her down and hopefully get her to sleep. Another 15 mins of her crying and finally she fell asleep. Normally I'd use Camilla, but the leftovers of a package my sister had given me was gone and of course being thanksgiving weekend we did not expect to find any late night pharmacies. We did make sure to pick some up yesterday grocery shopping though.

The other wonderful thing, is that on top of the teething, she's caught another cold, so runny nose, slight fever, cough and a bit of congestion. Children's Tylenol took care of that, but it definitely does not work on teething.

A pic of the little darling. I can't believe at the end of November she's going to be a year old!
