Nap time
Posted By pamelamyers on December 18, 2011
Thankfully, right now Sam is taking a nap. This is a Very Good Thing. Lately, naptime, bedtime and a lot of wake time, have been a trial. A few weeks ago, Sam started getting really cranky and having bad sleep habits. She was complaining that her mouth hurt and asking for medicine so I knew she was teething. I have been looking for her two-year molars to come in since her birthday even though I know they don’t come like clockwork. I can definitely feel that they are there, right under her gums, on the bottoms. Nothing on the tops though. Before, her gums were very hard and smooth where her molars should be, and now the bottoms are sort of hard but lumpy, like I can feel the outlines of her teeth.
This has been going on for a while, but those darn teeth won’t pop through! I have heard they are the worst teeth to come in since they are larger, and I am not even sure that they fall out with her other baby teeth, so I am sure it hurts. I feel really bad for her, but she is making us crazy. It is hard not to get mad at her when she refuses to go to sleep, and is waking me up at least once every night, then super early (like 5:30 a.m.) each morning. Just yesterday, she had me out of bed at 4:40 a.m. That was fun. So, today’s nap, and the one she took on Friday, are a blessing, that is for sure. Hopefully, we will all be less stressed when she wakes up. I am hoping that these teeth come in soon — Mark and I are on vacation now for the holidays and we were looking forward to it being a relaxing time, but so far, not so much. We are so sleep deprived that it is hard to get motivated to do anything!
Oh, Sam, my little girl, I do love you honey, and am sorry for yelling at you when I get frustrated. I hope you remember that I am just tired and don’t take my yelling at you to heart. I always feel guilty afterwards and try to make it up to you. Hang in there sweetie, your teeth should pop soon!
