Miserable.
Ja.son is just miserable. We went to the pediatrician yesterday, where I was given an explanation for his grumpiness. The boy is teething. Not one. Not two. Not even three teeth. The poor thing is swollen in FIVE different places. By the time all of this is over (sooner rather than later) he'll have 7 teeth.
It really started to get bad last night. One of his canine teeth has broken through the gums, his two front teeth are going to break through at any moment (I think one might have already, but I don't want to swear on it), and he is swollen for two more canines. Yikes.
Today he has been feeling horrible. He didn't even want to jump in his jumper! That tells me it is pretty bad. He's been getting Ty.lenol regularly and baby Or.agel. Other than that, there just isn't much more I can do but love on him. (and yes, I do quite a bit of that)
He doesn't want to eat, he sleeps fitfully, and cries big boo hoo tears. It's been like that since around 11 last night.
Right now, he is sleeping quietly in his swing. This is practically the first time he's let me put him down all night and day.
In case you're wondering, Mr. Sh.awn Bon still has a big zero for number of teeth. Come on bottom teeth! Get in there all ready!

Got a new washer and dryer delivered today. They are pre-tty! Hee hee. Can't wait to do a load of laundry now. Jeez, who said that?
A mother of 2 boys says that :) Congratulations on the new washer and dryer.
ReplyDeleteWOW !! OUCH !
Maybe Shawn will pop 7 out at a time when he gets them.
Consider yourself lucky that they are all 5 coming in. You could do this slowly over time....it's much worse I think !
My daughter always teethed in batches. When she was 8 months old, my husband went on a trip with friends for Labor day. When he came back, she had 6 more teeth than when he left. It was unbelievable.
