Sleepless Nights!!

Ok first of all let me say that I absolutely love parenthood. I wouldn't change it for the world. But now let me tell you what I do hate. Sick babies, no sleep, teething babies, no sleep, working long hours and did I mention no sleep?? Well Peyton had to pay a little visit to the docotor last week for her 6 month well child check up. And poor thing guess what she ended up coming out with... Well 4 shots need I mention anymore? In the past she has been a trooper about getting shots but these last ones she didn't do so great on and come to find out one of the shots involved getting a 1/2 dosage of the flu shot. We get to look forward to the other half next month. Yay for us. But thursday comes and she is runnin a fever and is very irritable. I ended up not taking her to my best friend Sunshines house because I didn't want her to get over whelmed with her crankiness. Which Sunshine only has her for an hour and a half everyday. Anyway, I stay home with her until my mom gets home. By 11:00 she seems to feeling better so I feel ok about going to work. Well later on that night when I got home she was cranky as ever and wanted nothing but to be held. But the thing with holding her you could only touch her from the waste up. If you touched her legs she would scream like someone was hurting her. So by 9:00 I finally get her settled down and ready for bed. Well I am usually in bed by 9:30 myself because 5:00 comes fairly quick. Well first of all let me just say that Peyton is a very good sleeper. She has been since the first night in the hospital. I am used to waking up with her at midnight every night and feeding her and she is good to go until I pull her out of bed at 5:30 every morning. Well lets just say that night wasn't the case. She woke up every hour on the hour. This time she was over the feverness but all she would do was wine and cry and I had no idea what was wrong. Finally it dawned on me it was because she was teething. So needless to say thursday and friday had to do with her teething. On saturday I finally went to wal-mart and bought her some teething tablets. I bought the highlands tablets which worked wonders but the Orajel wasn't worth a crap. Anyway she is finally taking her naps and settling down until Saturday night comes along. I wake up at 2:30 with a baby that is not holding down her formula and is running another fever. So I spent most of the night with a sick baby. Her flu shot finally kicked in and it has all gone down hill from there. And it doesnt help that I am a such a worry wort. My mom gets after me because I think I need to take her to the doc. for everything. Anyway, Sunday rolls around and all she wants to do is sleep. So I went home from church early and put her to bed. Sunday night she is finally starting to act a little bit like her self. I was finally feeling like she was getting over it. Monday comes and she is really acting like her self. Playing, smiling and taking her naps like normal. Well by 2:00 that night I wake up to a baby that is running a high fever and is waking up every hour again. Thank goodness for baby tylonel. I gave her that throughout the night and that seemed to help. Well by the end of Tuesday (which is today) she is still running a fever on and off has a runny nose and puffy eyes and doesn't want to go to sleep and is still really irritable and has also cried non stop for 30 minutes. So by now I am really stressed out and I am now going to take her to the docotor. I am thinkin it is just a mixture of the flu shot and her teething but I want to be for sure before I make a decison. So needless to say parenting is not all that easy. But I still love it.

This whole blogging thing is new to me. So please bare with me as I tried to figure this thing out. But once I do I hope you enjoy!
