Tooth Fairy, my ass

Let this serve as proof that just a few short days ago I had a happy baby.


But not any more. The teething monster has struck, leaving a path of destruction in its wake (I would call it the teething fairy, but nothing magical is taking place in this house)..

Isn't it too early for this?! I mean, I read that it could happen starting around 4 months but I certainly didn't think it actually would.

And if I thought the vaccines were bad, oh.my.gosh this is so much worse (which is only compounded by the fact that she has to have more vaccines this Thursday, too). My sweet, happy baby girl is a drooling, inconsolable wreck. Last night she woke up every 1.5-2 hours screaming and writhing in pain. I would rock her back to sleep while she whimpered and as soon as I laid her down, she would be back to wailing. I know there has been research done that show twins have a telekinetic connection, subjected to the pain and feelings of the other and I wonder if mothers share the same with their babies because my heart just aches for her.

And geeze, can this poor baby not catch a break? First the diarrhea for 5 weeks, then the cold (which she still has, 6 weeks later), then the 4 month wakeful, and now teething? It's a good thing we don't keep a liquor cabinet, because I'm sure even she would be driven to drink at this point.
