Alli has cried more in the last 48 hours than she previously did in her entire 4 months and 3 weeks of life.
I had to give her Hylands AND Gripe Water again this afternoon just to get her down for her nap because she cried and screamed for nearly an hour. During the DAY!!! I can't believe we lived through Ben's infancy. Seriuosly, this is triggering a lot of memories I'd blocked on purpose!
There are now two holes in her gums, but no teeth through yet. She won't comfort nurse, she won't even suck her thumb because she's crying so hard. My arms ache from rocking her and swinging her and holding her and bouncing her and all the things we have never ever had to do for her before.
Please just let it be over with before Stephen has to go back to work on Wednesday.
I went to bed just after posting last night when she woke up and cried AGAIN and then she was up so many times during the night it was pointless to count. Then Ben was up at 7:45 and by the time Alli had been crying for an hour instead of napping, I was at capacity and ended up crashing with her for two hours. In my jeans and smooshed against the wall to boot. I feel like crap and I just want my sweet little girl to be happy again.
