The Joys of Teething

Well, we (okay mostly I'm the only one who cared) were hoping for a late teether, but unfortunately it appears that is not what Gabrielle has in store. Friday she was running a fever of 99.3 all day and then Sunday she had a screaming episode that lasted for far too long in our minds. It is just heartbreaking to see tears and know she is in such misery. It finally stopped when we got some number for the gums...so we expect to see teeth breaking through anyday now! The worst part is knowing she's in pain and not being able to really help her. She's definitely been snuggly and clingy, which is nice and sad all at the same time. I like snuggling her, but not because she doesn't feel good. Poor girl!
In the meantime, Brie is totally enamored with Skoshi. She watches her all the time and has finally been able to pet her a few times. It's so cool to see her discovering her "puppy" and making friends:)

We had a super busy week last week. Our friends from Sumter came and stayed with us for the final week before school starts. We had a great time with Katrina and Alma and we got to make some new friends as well. Then on Thursday night Nana Nanci and Aunt Kelci finally made it down from NC and we got to spend Friday with them. It was wonderful for them to get to meet Brie and Aunt Kelci even put her to sleep for a nap!
So, it should be an interesting week. I'm anticipating a little lonliness after all the company last week. Hopefully we'll get into the swing of things and all will be right in the world!

oh boy! the teeth...abby is getting ready to get her last one before she gets her 2 yr molars! i don't remember if i told you about the homeopathic teething tablets and also you can rub a little drop of tylenol on her gums. whatever you do though don't give her oragel, it can numb her tongue and she can accidentally swallow it...not good! also i've been meaning to tell you that if you are worried about any of the immunizations affecting her you can divide them up. the doctor let me do that for abby because she had a terrible reaction to her 1 yr old shots (4 days of unstopable diarrhea that made her lose weight). she had never had any reactions before at all. so for her 18 mo. shots i having her take them one at a time and she is doing great with them so far. she had her second one this week. it is kind of a pain to have to go every week, but in the end it will be worth it i am sure. hope all is well with you all!
