Ok, so I can no longer deny it my baby is teething, and being a n00b mom I don't know what to do.  See I had it in my had that baby was miserable for a day or two and then the tooth popped through.  Maybe I just had it in my mind so that I would be willing to go through with this whole motherhood thing.  He has been teething on and off for a month now; and on for about a week (am I the only one who can to longer tell one day from the other, ask me if something happened yesterday or the day before and I can't figure it out)

Two days ago whenever he was hungry first he would put my nipple between his lips and let out the groan.  I had to pump before I went to bed, I guess he just wasn't up to eating much; too bad my breasts didn't get the memo.

Yesterday I spent an hour in the morning trying to keep Disco-Baby's thumb out of his mouth.  He is quite a thumb sucker, and understandable because his mouth was hurting he wanted comfort, comfort from his beloved thumb.  However, said thumb coming into contact with gums led to SCREAMING.  NOT FUN AT ALL.  After three hours of fussing and crying (and hand pinning) he decided he would be happier outside, so we sat on the front porch for an hour while a read my magazine.  (Where was hubby in all this?  About an hour into screamfest he got up and asked what was wrong, and then said he only wanted "one more hour" of sleep because he was up late talking to his brother.  Whatever)

Finally he took a nap.  He was better after that, though still chomping down hard on anything he could get his hands on and drooling like a rabid dog.

I can not stand the crying… makes me feel sick to my stomach.  So what do you do for teething?
