Exhausted by Teeth...For REAL

Ok so I literally got three hours of sleep last night...remind me why teeth have to hurt so bad coming in. Poor Logan has two coming in at the same time and screamed forever....bursts of screams coming from your little guys crib at midnight, 1AM, 2AM, 3:30AM, 5:00 AM...you get the picture. It tends to send any perfectly sane mommy over the top. I would hold him and he would settle down and fall to sleep and then I would try to put him back down and another fit of screams would begin. We did this all night long and needless to say EVERYONE (including daddy who was running for diapers, bottles, teething tablets, tylenol and paci's) is zombie like today.

So as left the house and hugged Dean goodbye I couldn't tell if I was crying because I was exhausted or because it kills me to leave my hurting and sad baby and go to work. When I dropped him off to grandma this morning I made sure to hand off his monkey and his pillow for the first time ever. I just hope tonight goes better and we can all get some rest.

Love him to death, feel terrible that he's hurting...but I just can't function. I thought three hours of sleep nightly ended months ago...I was seriously mistaken!

Signed...the frazzled mother of a 10 month old!

So sorry! Hope tonight goes better! I've gotten used to sleeping through the night most nights. You can cheer me on in a few months! Give Logan a hug for me!
