You know what this means right? Another bad day in the White house. Hmmm. Amy is drooling, dribbling, clutching at her mouth, off her food and crying ALL THE TIME. I guess its another episode of teething. Its strange though because I really wasn’t expecting this much drama for the next teeth, I should have known last time was too easy!

Amy has 14 teeth (I thought it was 16 but just had a mental count) she has 2 central incisors on the bottom and 2 on the top, she has both sets of laterals and a full set of first molars which makes 12 teeth. The canines on the bottom are coming through at the moment but these have been coming for a while which is why I was not expecting teething dramas all of a sudden. Its the canines on the top which are the interesting ones, my Dad has congenital missing canines so we think there is a possibility that Amy might be missing hers but Mum isn’t sure whether she will miss both milk and adult versions, or just adult and when we went to the Dentist a few weeks ago she had a look and a feel and as best as she could advise, the top canines were in the process of coming through.

All that aside my child is miserable. Nothing makes her happy, I can’t get a smile or a cuddle she is just a dribbling, whiney mess and I am struggling. I gave her a dose of panadol but she has still woken up nearly every 15 minutes since going down 2 hours ago to bed. I can’t comfort her when she cries because nothing helps which means a sad and grumpy Amy and a tired and sad and grumpy me.

A little video taste of our day. I am not sure what we will do tomorrow, probably try a morning sleep with some panadol and then go from there. I realise I am usually very cheerful and upbeat on the blog, but sometimes the reality is very different. I hate seeing Amy like this and wish I could make it better so I will be keeping her topped up with regular doses of panadol and letting her eat whatever she feels like for the next few days!
