So, it has been an intense week and a half in our household. Every night I go to sleep thinking "it's not going to be long before someone is crying." And it isn't me who is crying. Callen has had a rough go of it the past week or so. And it has taken its toll on this little family. I believe that Callen is over the fact of nursing (I really do). But, he is currently trying to cut every single tooth he has left to cut on the bottom. NO LIE. Two teeth have popped up and the rest of his gums are swollen and sore. He cries none stop.
Those days of colic are long gone and I kinda wish they were back (am I saying this???) and take away the nasty teething part. At least with colic once he was asleep he was asleep and there were gas drops to ease his tummy. He has never had issues really with teething, and I guess the issue now is that 5 to 6 teeth are trying to come through at the same time. We have tried every pain reliever they make and we are doing the teething tablets and gel and it just doesn't seem to cut the pain or his frustration.
And instead of crying, Callen has started SCREAMING. It is horrible. It gets to the point that nothing can calm him down and he just screams. We are having to convert his baby bed into a toddler bed because he can climb out of the bed and it is just not safe for this to be happening.
So, please include us in your prayers. He needs some much needed rest and relief from those toothers and Jason and I need some much needed rest without screaming.
I know this is just part of parenting and it too shall pass...but right now, it is rough. And it makes me sad to see my sweet boy hurting and there is nothing I can do to relieve any of the pain.
