Not a whole lot going on, other than Marleigh is really teething. It is her upper two teeth on the sides, not her front teeth. She has been a little fussy, but not too bad. It is obvious they are bothering her. She isn't sleeping & chewing on her hands constantly. I've tried teething rings, but they are too big for her little mouth. Tried the cold washcloth, but she ends up sucking on it until she gags. Dr. said we can't use teething tablets because they have something in them that suppresses the respiratory system. So, we're trying Tylenol. We finally did break down & get orajel. It was only as a last resort. She just wasn't able to sleep at all. Poor little thing was just exhausted.
Grandpa & Grandma Johnson were out to see us the first of last week. Of course Marleigh was full of smiles. It was good to see them again. They hadn't seen Marleigh since she was 5lbs! Now she's over 12!
I think I finally have all of our thank you's sent out. We tried to keep track of everything & write it down. Between home, Ronnie Mac, the hospital, & the funeral home I hope we haven't missed any. I did have a couple come back for wrong address. Please, please let me know if I have missed a thank you. We truly appreciate all the generosity so much & I would hate to have missed someone.
So glad to hear you guys are enjoying normal parenting stuff! Loved the slide show of Marleigh. Sarah I'm shocked to say I think she looks even MORE like you now! Can't wait for more pics.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear she is doing good. I do have a few suggestions for you in regards to teething. I realize my advice is soley based on my experiences with babysitting. However if you want try putting water on her binki and putting it in the freezer for a while or try wrapping a piece of ice in a washcloth and holding it on her gums so she can get some relief. Just some thoughts. Tiff
