Tooth Troubles

I am feeling so bad for my poor baby girl this week. Last week she was so grumpy and cranky every day for most of the day, and I could not figure out what happened to my sweet, happy no matter what is happening girl. Then Sunday I saw it. The second tooth is coming in. The first tooth she got gave her a little rash on her cheeks, and caused her a little discomfort, but as long as I kept the cheek cream on, and gave her a little advil when she went to sleep she was okay. There is nothing that is helping with #2. This round, she is absolutely miserable all day every day, she has had a horrible diaper rash since Sunday (and she has probably only ever had maybe 3 diaper rashes in the last year so this is odd) the poor girl has diarrhea (and screams in pain when she poops because it stings her rash) and even the advil only helps the tooth pain for a max of 2 hours. The poor baby is absolutely miserable, and there is nothing I can do but try to keep her distracted (which means a lot of playing) and keep up on the diaper changes and butt paste (which is a miracle cream and the only thing that is helping). We are having a lot of late night and middle of the night snuggles, and since we are still sharing a room until we get the new house next month, poor daddy has been doing a lot of sleeping on the couch (which beats not sleeping in our room with a screaming baby). All this over one tiny little tooth!! I am so happy that she won't remember any of this experience, and it would be nice to get at least a couple weeks off between tooth #2 and tooth #3.
