Over the Thanksgiving Holidays the teething monster paid a visit to Charlotte, and our whole family for that matter. Even the times she has been sick, Charlotte has still been a great nighttime sleeper. So, when she woke up crying at 3:45 a.m. Thanksgiving night and wouldn't soothe herself back to sleep, I knew it must be teething. I have had teething pain relievers and soothers of the sort on hand for many months now. I'm glad we were prepared so that Mark didn't have to make a middle-of-the-night run to a 24 hour store. I don't know why, mother's intuition perhaps, but I suspected that she was cutting both of her bottom two front teeth at the same time. About two days later I was able to finally start to feel and see them, and that was in fact the case. So, we had Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights that we all had very broken sleep because every few hours her medicine would wear off and we would have to give her more and calm her down so she could go back to sleep. Luckily, by the time we had to go back to work, Charlotte was back to sleeping through the night. The teeth are still just barely visible, but you can really feel them now! I seems that it will take a while for them to come all the way in, but I think we are through the worst part. Until the next tooth . . .`

I feel your pain Hattie! Carly has her two bottom teeth already but just recently was cutting her top two teeth. It was definitely causing her to get up more in the night, too. You know it has to be soo painful. The poor girls!
