Dr. Teeth

Carrie has been sleeping poorly, and I even brought her to the doctor this afternoon to have her ears checked – they’re fine, but her four front top teeth are all “ready to pop through” as he put it. I just hope they pop through soon, because the sleep deprivation is killing me! I swear it’s worse now than last year at this time, because I know she can sleep through the night, she just won’t. Not that I don’t have a lot of sympathy for her – I can’t imagine what it must be like to have your mouth hurt to the point where you can’t sleep, and not know why.

We really don’t like giving her Motrin on a regular basis, but it does seem to help, and I suppose if I was in enough pain that I couldn’t sleep I’d take something. But those teeth had better come through soon…
