Teething Baby and Sleepless Nights

For all the fun things being a parent brings to your life it also brings some not so fun things as well.  I guess it is kind of like getting married, you love your spouse with all you have but you have to love the little things that drive you bonkers as well.  That's how I feel about being a mother.  Brielle is my world, my everything, my future and I wouldn't want any of that to ever change but in the middle of the night when her poor mouth is hurting her so much she cries and is restless it is difficult to 'Love" that.  When you rock back and forth so many times your tummy is sore the next day (not that I am complaining because hey, what a great way to work out and not really mean to), when you sing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so many times your brain went numb and you can't remember the words, when your husband snores really loud right at the time you finally get the baby to sleep in their bed and now you have to start all over, when you give up and just bring them to bed with you because sleeping in your arms is really what they want anyway so when you wake up in the morning you are so stiff your arm wont really move is when you know you are enjoying the "not so fun" with the new parenting job.  Poor girl has been teething for well over a month now and still no little buds have surfaced through the tissue.  She is able to hold toys and bring them to her mouth now where as a month ago she really wasn't able to do that.  A friend told me about all natural Teething Tablets and they seem to be helping.  When we first started giving them to her she was unsure of why we doing it and was fussy when we placed them in her mouth.  Now when she sees the bottle of Teething Tablets and our fingers coming towards her mouth with the small dissolvable pills she opens up for us and seems to enjoy it.  Maybe she is used to the taste (if there is any) or maybe they really do help and she somewhat understands that.  She is starting to learn cause and effect with simple things so you never know.  She has a little Sofie but it is still hot her favorite thing for teething.  I think her mouth is still a little small so she usually chews on her fingers, hands or her Monkey who was named, Chewy, by Chris since as soon as she received said monkey she just started gnawing on her.  Oh to go through this at such a young age has not been easy.  One of her favorite things is when we rub her pacifier on her gums back and forth and it squeaks.  We usually get cute smiles when we do this.  She doesn't really seem to like her pacifiers to suck on but rather to chew on them constantly while we hold them for her.  Hopefully as she gets older it will get a little better when she can sit up on her own and play more with toys that she can chew on.
