Ohmigoodness ya'll my little Faith is teething like crazy! That or she somehow turned into a different child Monday morning and someone forgot to give me the memo!
I feel so bad for my sweet girl! Its like if she is not constantly entertained and being forced to basically forget she is in pain then she quickly remembers she is indeed hurting and has just this saddest cry! Plus she has been super sentive and whiney and clingy and I could go on and on! I think it is her molars I kinda feel them but they don't feel like they are anywhere close to breaking the gums so either we're in for a long ride or something else is going on!
Needless to say it's been a rough week. This is our second week back in Texas and is certainly making me wish I had some more spare hands around so Hubby and I could get out for a night! But we don't so we won't and we'll get through this I'm sure!
It is funny how much being a mom makes your stronger and capable of things you never thought possible. Many many mornings I wake up (before the crack of dawn lately) and think how am I ever going to make it though this day? But somehow I always do and I honestly look back and feel really proud of myself! I know it might seem minor to others but I really do just have to sit back breathe and pat myself on the back at the end of the day for making it through.
As hectic as this week has been we've had some nice things happen too! Well starting off Sunday we found a new church! A HOME CHURCH and we just love it there! It is so us and for us and we just loved it! Unfortunatley about 2 minutes into the sermon we got paged and Miss Faith wasn't doing so hot. I think that is about the exact moment she started teething. She was chewing on her fingers they said and went from being totally fine and happy to gnawing her fingers and felt almost feverish. Needless to say we left but we are very excited to go back on Sunday and hopefully get to stay the whole time :)
Then last night one of my Mom groups had a Mom's Night out and yesterday was the perfect day that I really needed a margarita! After Faith woke at 5am yesterday and took 1 short nap it was so nice to get out of the house with some fun mama's and have a nice night out!
And this weekend of course we have lots of things going on and planned so hopefully the weather will cool off ( People in Texas call this weather fall...I call it an extension of summer not quite as hellish but certainly not fall!) so Faith can wear her costume!
Any guesses as to what she is going to be?
A couple clue's
1) Its not girlie at all ( not a princess of fairy or anything like that)
2) It's blueish green
3) " It sucks"
If you know already please don't give it away because I'm going to do a little giveaway to the first person who guesses correctly! Not exactly sure what and it won't be huge of course but something small for you or your little one :) If someone I know does give it away then I do hope just to host a giveaway soon!
Oh yeah and last thing I just got an email from my MOPS group that Monday they are having and OB/GYN to talk about contraceptioin...Just what this infertile woman wants to hear about LOL Sometimes you just have to laugh at it all right???

I am right there with ya', friend. Little Man is teething - he's got four coming in at one time!!!!
And our MOPS group had a physical therapist come in to talk about your body after giving birth.
Whoo-hoo.
I texted my girlfriend the whole time :)
Ummm....a guess....a leech? A vaccum? I got nothing. Little Man's gonna be a zebra!!
I know what you mean about feeling proud of yourself! As a fellow mom with no family near to help, after a long day I def. feel exhausted but I also think "wow I made it through!" xoxo-M
Hi there...I wanted to start posting..so thought I'd introduce myself. I started reading your blog probably a month and half ago..caught up on everything you've posted previously and wanted to let you know that you have one sweet, cute lil' girl on your hands. I love your story and was so intrigued. I live in Texas..but about 5 1/2 hours from you or so. I love Austin though and we try and visit about twice a year or so. My aunt has a lakehouse not too far from there. I'm so sorry you are missing your family and friends from Cali. It's an extremely hard adjustment..but I'm sure God has you where he wants you for now. I have a 19-month-old lil' girl and love to read other mom blogs.
Isn't it heartwrenching watching them have to go through the teething?? I'm sorry to say that it doesn't get any easier. The molars are second behind the canines and hardest to cut I've heard. My girl is cutting her canines right now. They call them the eye and stomach teeth. It's the fangs. Last week was horrendous ..she definitely turned into a different child. She would always get cold-like symptoms..so I never knew if she was teething or coming down with something until several days later. I've found that tylenol or motrin (if they have fever) and the teething tablets worked best for Zoee. But I received an email a few days ago that says they recalled the teething tablets I was using. They are the Hilands. Let me tell ya...that part doesn't get easier for them or you. My friend did tell me you do get a little break after they turn two. I hope she feels better soon. It's so crazy how different ever child is about teething. Some cut them quickly and sometimes it just drags on. Oh and also...one of my really good friends lives in Austin. She is a nanny by day. I could ask her if she wouldn't mind watching your li'l girl for you so you and the hubby could get out every once in a while. That's if y'all live reasonably close to each other. Let me know what you think about that..kind of weird maybe that we don't really know each other..but it's something to think about. I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to getting to know you.
Sounds like teething. I remember those cutting through it was rough. But this too will pass.
So glad you found a home church. That will make all the difference. After you are there for a bit talk with the nursery director and see if she can recommend someone reliable to babysit. That's what we had to do.
