Oh my poor little guy. He's had only his two lower teeth since he was 8 months old, and hasn't had anything since. Well now it looks like he's getting 4 uppers in all at once! He has been absolutely miserable the last couple days. It started last night when he was throwing up - scared us to death because he was already asleep when he first started getting sick. He was sick for a while last night and we just kept him in our bed so we could keep a close watch on him. Of course this meant NO sleep for us, but that's just the way it is! Today he ate/drank almost NOTHING. I think it actually hurts for him to try to drink. Then tonight it took me over an hour to get him down...I gave him some Motrin and Orajel (I save the drugs for desperate times, and I thought this was one of those times). He still just could not get comfortable and sleep, so I held him and let him cry until he finally went to sleep. Now I completely understand what it means when you hear parents say they wish they could just take the pain of their child...I'd take it a thousand times over if it meant he didn't have to suffer. The poor little guy can't even tell us what's wrong! :( Anyway, enough of the martyrdom (heh heh)....I just can't wait for him to feel better!
For some better thoughts, here are a couple pictures from his time at the beach last weekend with his cousins. He is such a water baby! It's amazing how comfortable he is in the water. They had a great time destroying sand castles that others had so painstakingly worked to build...shhhhh, it wasn't my son!
