I asked over in the baby talk and partenting in her other post on the doctors appt. But I didn't get a responce.

I hope she is doing better!

she said this in another thread...



i'm thinking she's just been busy lately.

Thanks for relaying the info.

I'm sure she is super busy. I just hope she starts feeling better soon.

I feel loved!

.Alyvia's been halfway nutzo with her teething, and it's pretty trying. It's actually a little bit scary because I feel my patience start to slip with her, and I don't want to lose my cool on a 9 month old when I understand that she isn't acting out on purpose. It's been really difficult dealing with her and keeping my temper under control, and I was actually pretty embarrassed about it and didn't want to post about it. I knew it would only take one negative post to make me flip my lid.

.i'm trying to just set her down and walk away when I feel like .i'm about to lose it, and she cries louder and crawls after me with a look on her face like .i'd abandoned her, which just makes me feel worse. It's just horrible and I feel really guilty. It's put me in a semi-depression over the last few days and I guess .i'm feeling a bit antisocial.

Aaron's mom is still in .texas at the lake, so I don't have anyone here that can take her for a few hours and give me some peace. Aaron's pulling a lot of extra hours at work because we need the money, so it's really just been me and her. I'm trying to hold out until the 10th for her appointment, and after that I might go back to the lake with .aaron's mom. She's such a positive person, very warm and caring, super-supportive, and she's amazing with .alyvia. And right now, I really need that bit of sunshine. I think .alyvia needs it too.

Okay, so that was depressing. Sorry, girls.

poor laura,you'l get through it.Your a tough cookie and no matter how hard and how trying alyvia gets you will be fine.your doing the right thing.I hope the doc can help you out somehow.

I hope she starts feeling better soon. How is her fever doing?

I'm sorry your feeling that way. I think a lot of people go thru that at one point or another. You are handling it perfectly by walking away before you get to a point that you are uncomfortable with how you are feeling. You are a wonderful mom. But even the best moms need a few minutes here and there, especially when there little ones are feeling that way. It is very emotionally trying.

~Big hug~

*You might want to call your doctor and let him know whats going on. They can presrcibe very light antidepressants for you just for the next few weeks or months. Just to help you cope some. It doesn't mean that you have depression (not that there is anything wrong with it) but everyone goes through some "situational depression" from time to time. It's just an idea and I don't want you to take that the wrong way. I just wanted to throw it out there. No need to respond if you don't like the idea, just disregard.

I'm soo sorry .laura!!!!

I know you said you didn't want to, but I really think you should try some "little teethers" numbing gel!!

It will save your life!!! I promise!!!!!!!!!!

teefuses suuuuuuck!!

SArah

Thanks ladies! I was kind of afraid .i'd get bashed or flamed, and you girls made me feel so much better. You're the best!



.Thanks for the idea! I think .i'll hold out until I can get back to the lake, and if I still feel kind of bleh then .i'll contact my doctor. I'm hoping that it's just stress and exhaustion. I might mention it at her doc appointment and see if they have any ideas for dealing with teething infants.

Sarah: I think we'll keep an eye out for that stuff when her second tooth starts to push through. Her first one has broken the surface... you can't see it all that clearly, but you can definitely feel it! How long do you think it'll take for the tooth to come out?

i'm sorry you're having a rough time, laura. you know we're always here for you!
