Teething!!

So Sabella is currently teething. She has been for the past three days, and I'm going INSANE!!!

She's so miserable from all the pain, all she's been doing since she started is scream, and scream, and scream some more. The only time she'll sleep soundly is when I give her tylenol, and even then she only sleeps for a few hours. So in the past three days, I've probably gotten a total of six or seven hours of sleep. I know that's what being a mom is all about, but oh my GOSH is it ever exhausting!! I'm so glad it's the weekend and now I can get some help from my mum and step-dad, otherwise I might have gone insane before the next few days were up.

So tomorrow, I'm getting a break while my step-dad babysits her, and me and my mum are going for a quick shopping trip and maybe a movie, too. (Fingers crossed that we're gonna go see the Hunger Games. :P)

I just hate that her teething came so soon, because she's so little, she can't hold a teething ring or anything, and she doesn't even like the teething ring I've bought for her, so really the only comfort I can give her (other than tylenol) is putting her soothers in the fridge and giving them to her cold, and cuddling her. So that's basically all I've been doing the past few days is cuddling her and rotating her soothers. I haven't even been able to put her down to use the washroom sometimes, because as soon as she notices I'm not holding her anymore, she panics and starts screaming again... to the point where she starts to cough and choke.

So today, once my mum was home from work, I folded three baskets of Bella's laundry, put them away, tidied her bedroom, and put more laundry in the wash. I almost made myself pass out from how much I did in such a small amount of time. But I'm just happy that her room - minus her garbage can and diaper genie - is almost totally clean again.

But there she goes crying again... my step-dad's holding her, but I still  feel like I need to go contribute somehow, so here's the end of this blog post... Hope everyone else (in the whole world...) is having a much better day/s than I am.

I feel so sorry for my poor little girl...
