Teething Bites.

by Jill October 20, 2008
written by Jill

Well… they’re here, at least two of them anyway.  Kendall cut his first two razor blades… I mean… teeth (center bottom) at the beginning of last week.  My boobs have been spared for the most part since his tounge covers them when he’s eating.  However, this isn’t going to last long.  He’s been working all week on getting a top tooth in and it’s killing us both (apparently, when he decided to get teeth, he decided to just get them all at once…joy).  He’s uncomfortable, I’m exhausted, my boobs want to grow a protective shell, and my husband has to deal with us both.  It’s not fun.

If I would let him, Kendall would sleep all night with my nipple comfortably (for him… not me) resting in his mouth against his gums.  It is the only way I can get him to nod off.  Then my attempts to do the old fake nipple switcheroo with many different brands of pacifiers end up resulting in a pissed off, wide awake, STILL uncomfortable baby.  Poor little guy : (  Of course, I have the whole aresenal of soothing agents and have tried them all.  I have the teething tablets, baby Motrin, frozen teethers, vibrating teethers, soft teethers, hard teethers, and, let us not forget, the farking teething necklace (which I have no idea if the thing actually works because I just can’t bring myself to leave a necklace on a sleeping infant).

Anyway, now I’m exhausted.  Did I mention that already?  Yeah… I’m exhausted.  I can’t even concentrate on typing right now.  I must get to sleep.  I’m sure  he will be awake as soon as the Motrin wears off.  Must. get. some. sleep.

I’m going to guess that Kendall is approaching the six month mark sometime in the not very distant future… will check calendar in the morning to confirm.

Something Wicked This Way Comes

by Jill October 6, 2008
written by Jill

::cue slow, eerie music:: It was a dark stormy night… okay, more like a mildly breezy, little bit of rain, still pretty freaking hot (but hey, this is TEXAS) for October day.  I was rocking the demon….er… I mean my sweet fussy pants baby to sleep.  It seemed that the long lost colicky behavior we thought we’d kicked in the pants a couple months ago was returning.  His mouth kept feverishly switching back and forth from sucking on my boob and then his finger, and every now and then he’d try to cram in a fist full of blanket.  When none of those options satisfied him, he would sqwak with disapproval.  I had read of this terrifying behavior before.  I was beginning to worry that the same malady was taking over my baby’s body.  I was afraid, but I knew what I had to do.  I wiped off my pointer finger, pried open his pursed lips and glided it across his top and the bottom gums.  It was then that I confirmed my fear… there on his bottom gum was a swollen nub… the beginnings of…. A TOOTH!!!!  AHAHAAAGGGHGHGHGAAAHGHGHGAGH!!  Is it possible for breasts to wince?
