We are nearing the end of week 2 of Rain's teething bout. Notice Rain isn't done teething, this is just the 2nd week of her night wailing about it. She's been waking up at 2, 3, and 5 in the morning crying over her sore gums, and last night, well, last night was hard.
Rain started crying at 12:30. She cried until 1:30. She got up at again at 2:30. I carried her, sat with her in the rocking chair, and finally had to put her in her swing so she would fall asleep. She slept until 4:30 and started crying again. She went to sleep and was up at 5:30 looking for a meal. Same thing at 7:30.
Worse? Rain reached a milestone last night. She can flip on to her tummy. Problem: she hates being on her tummy. So once she figured out how to do something last night, she kept doing it, then crying once it was done. I could hear her muffled screams all night. With dry eyes, I'd stumble out of bed mumbling, "No SIDS ... no SIDS ..."
It was the kind of night that makes me think one kid is all two people should be legally able to have.

You know.. Celeste is doing that also (turning on to her tummy, that is), and Angelica has this neat little thing that she bought. I don't know what it's called, but basically it's like a small towel with two rolls on opposite ends. You place your baby in the middle and the rolls lean up against her sides comfortably, just under her arms. The result? No more turning babies!
Yeah, we're talking about getting one. Not sure if we want to add more baby arsenal to our already-full supply, ya know? :)
