Teething & Blisters

Bad night last night, very bad. Mama is so tired. But you can go to her blog for excessive complaining. Crockbaby is now a happy blog!

This morning, Dorian has a swollen blue blister on the gums where one of the teeth is coming in. Totally normal with teething babies, but blood blisters can be painful. So I am sure that is why he was up last night. The good news is that both the front teeth are sooooo close to coming through. You can feel the one on the left poking through the gums. The one on the right has the blister. I wish he would take the cold compresses and frozen toys I give him to chew on, but he just wants to bite my nipples! Monster.

Once these teeth come through, we'll give him a couple days to settle and then resume the dreaded sleep training. With a vengeance. I am going to make James cancel his week-end gigs if he has to. ;) Chain him to Dorian's room and seal his eyes open so he can't sleep...make him listen to the horrible sounds of our baby crying nonstop. It's his turn for a little sleep-deprivation! Oh wait, sorry this is a happy blog. I forgot.

Sleep training will work next time around. It just has to.
