No, this is not Freyja. But it is a baby with a fever...which is what I've got. Her top right tooth has decided to come in, and although she only seemed mildly disgruntled by the first two lower teeth, this one so far has involved a lot more drama, and it hasn't even broken through the gumline yet. She's been hot, feverish, and weepy...and has needed lots of mommy hugs, snuggles, and loving.I really do recommend Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Tablets. They seem to take away some of the pain, and set her at ease so she can play or sleep comfortably. FYI: Although most of my homeopathic knowledge comes from Grandma Szilvi (I KNOW you love being called that! Hee Hee!), the Internet, or my awesome homeopathy book, this was actually suggested by my friend Heather while I was still pregnant. Thanks, girl! And another thing...isn't it fabulous that you can buy some homeopathic remedies at Wal-mart? Who knew?

Poor Freyja. And we're not even talking molers yet! Oooooh. Hope the remedy works for the other teeth as well, no reason why it shouldn't.
Guess what! Timothy sleeps through the night! Well, once a week he doesn't, but otherwise, it's HEAVENLY to be able to sleep properly. :-)
(He only has one more to go, the bottom left canine, to have all 16). But then agian,he started early, and he's 20 1/2 months old...
I wanted to write this acomment as Grandma Szilvi, but your security thingy wouldn'T let me. :-P
Freyja's been sleeping through the night now for a couple of months. She decided (on her own...I had no problem with waking up) that she no longer needed the night time feeding anymore. I'm guessing that if she were sleeping in her own crib, instead of co-sleeping (which we're still doing!!!), she would probably still be waking up, just for the "mommy time". So right now she goes to sleep...sleeps for 10 hours, then wakes up for an early morning feeding, and then goes back to sleep for 2 more hours...then gets up and plays and has breakfast...then goes back down for a morning nap 2-3 hours later for about 45 minutes. It's been like that for months now. People always says things to me like, "Wow, it's so nice that you've put her on a schedule!" I didn't "put" her on anything. She's done it all on her own...
Poor baby. Oh yea, the top teeth are WAY worse than the bottom ones (easy). And did I mention the back teeth are even worse? Those come in 2 places (front and back) then rip the middle as they grow. It's very painful for mom too. :( Those teething tabs are the only thing that worked for Abby. Besides a teether from the fridge. Warning on those though: after a few teeth can puncture them, spraying the contents EVERYWHERE!
Oh, we have Hand Foot and Mouth disease right now. Read more in my blog. :( It's not fun either.
HORRAY for bein a MOM! :)
