Teething can be summed up by most all parents as sucking!  The baby is teething now, and it’s driving me crazy.  I feel bad for the poor thing.  He isn’t himself.  He can’t sleep, won’t eat at times, and constantly fussy.  He spends a lot of the day with my fingers in his mouth chewing and drooling on them.  Then if I take my hand away to wipe all the drool off (which is so gross) he starts screaming until I give it back to him.  I really need to just go to the store and get him some of the teething tablets and pray they work.  Right now life is miserable with him at times.  Today he wouldn’t sleep and I had to give him a piece of ice in a baby washcloth just to help numb his gums.  That seemed to help for a while and then he spent the rest of the day drooling and chewing on things or just fussy.  My perfect baby that always so to bed with little to no fuss was gone today.  I had to lay down with him nursing until he fell asleep.  The poor boy was so tired.  So, tonight I gave him a little Tylenol since a friend told me it would help with the pain.  I hope it does something for him because he had a rough day and could use a few hours of sleep.  He never stays up this long and is over tired now.  I feel really bad for him since there isn’t much that I can do for him.  I think we will make a trip to the store tomorrow for a bottle of the teething tablets.
