Revisiting Sleeplessness

This weekend has been awful.

We have reason to believe that Sir Isaac Lidbom is teething. Here's what makes us think that:
1. he drools EVERYWHERE.
2. he chomps down HARD on your finger, upon insertion.
3. he's ULTRA cranky
4. he just won't sleep.

We've tried everything. He's been chewing on ice cold teething rings, fingers, and toys. That is ok for awhile, but then he screams.
We just gave him some Kid's Tylenol, but now, I think he's so overtired that he's fussy because of that.
I think he's slept about 45 minutes total since 5:30am. Maybe.

It is very reminiscent of the early Isaac days. The days where all he did was cry and eat and not sleep. It's been miserable, but hopefully it will be short lived.

We tried teething tablets from walmart, they were pretty useless for Benjamin, but you may want to try. They pharmasist will know what you need. :)
Hopefully, things will improve.
We have 3 weeks until #2 comes, they took me out of work this week, due to unbelieveable BP readings. So I'm home, bored. :)

SO you know what my Gramma would say??? A little bourban or whiskey rubbed on their gums will help. We never had to try it, but that is the sage advice of an older German lady... LOL.(apparently that was the early version of ambisol??)Hope those teeth come in soon and he gets some relief!!

You should buy a baby toothbrush and brush his gums. That can make them feel better. Josiah loved it when we did that.

Also, I have noticed that when you leave me comments you often refer to my son as though he is a dog.... (silly sarah!)

Hyland's Teething Tablets. They were like crack to all three of mine and the kids of all of my friends too.
