A Necessary Evil

Courtney has been having a rough week. She's been a little cranky, not sleeping well and gnawing on everything. It would appear that my baby girl is getting some teeth. Not one. Not two. But three teeth at once. From what we can tell, she has 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top. It's a little hard to tell because she won't let us in there to see what's going on so we spend a lot of time trying to get her to open her mouth so we can get a peek of the action. We've been trying to use teethers, Motrin, Orajel, teething tablets, cold water, every toy in our stash - anything we can to help to ease the pain. Later today we'll try some chilled spoons and carrots. Hopefully once they break through the skin, the pain will subside a bit.

I've been up since 4:20 this morning when Courtney got up to eat. I put her back to bed and then just laid there for a while. I finally got up at 6:30 because it seemed like a good time to get up on a SATURDAY. It's going to be a very long day...
