Teeth and more teeth

The past couple of weeks have been a little more difficult.  Eliana is teething and Craig has been sick with the flu.  Where is the fun in that?  I have noticed Eliana has been waking up at nights.  She has been crying out and sometimes I have to go and others I don’t.  Saturday night she was crying on and off through the night.  I finally realized that she is probably teething and trying to cut her molars.  The four front teeth have not bothered here before.  I started to investigate and noticed swollen gums and can feel knots.  I have noticed a change in bowels and a diaper rash.  Not to mention IRRITABILITY!  Wow!  I had also noticed she had been digging in her ear.  I had already taken her to our office for Dr. Caroline to look in her ears and they were fine.   So we are loading up with Tylenol, Teething tablets, and Orajel.  I am not overdoing it.  I just have to do something to help comfort her.   Last night she slept much better and so did I.  I just hope this ends soon because it is the pits!
