On a lighter note...
Sprout has sprouted teeth. My poor little one is now officially teething. Her first tooth popped yesterday and sleep has been a hit or miss, eating has been similar, and she has not been the happiest of babies. She is still in a relatively good mood. My little Sprout is quite the happy baby on most ocassions. Just right now she is in pain. My poor monkey princess.
We do have baby tylenol, orajel, and teethers. We are also showering her with lots of love to let her know that yes, she is in pain, but we are here and it is going to be alright. She also seems to either have a clogged tear duct or an eye infection, so that is not helping. And her eating habits changed, she was on two bowls a day but yesterday she did not want to be spoon fed at all. She wanted her bottle and after trying to get her to eat from the spoon, I eventually had to give up on that and just give her the bottle, but that meant less solids in her belly and less full bellies. Then again, eating from the bottle was a hit or miss too. My poor Sprout!
It is stressful, granted. My schedule has been shot along with hers and I have been an absolute bear to Hubby. I hate that I have been so stressed that I am taking it out on him. Granted, with my family issues, baby's growing pains, and the fact that I am having a period every two weeks, I am surprised that I am not worse than I am, ie, homicidal. Hubby is honestly trying too. He is helping me more with Sprout, taking my bouts of bitchiness with a grain of salt, and good lordy spoiled the crap out of me! He bought me the LOTR trilogy box set extended version on blu-ray! Seriously, he has been spoiling the crap out of me and Sprout. Nice dinners to Cheesecake Factory, new necklaces, and toys and clothes for the baby. So dear lords why am I such a pain in the ass to him.
Right, as I stated in a previous post, I need to take this out on someone deserving.
But that is staying in the other post. This is just an update on my sweet little one. She is growing up so, so fast. Teething, learning to sit up, rolling, and eating solids when she can. She is not on anything but rice cereal yet, veggies have been a big no no, but Monday I may try Oatmeal if she is willing. I love my hubby and Sprout. Sometimes I wish outside of adopted family that they were the only family I have. Though, I do like my sisters most days.
