Just an Update

Life is hectic. The good news is that I am finally getting some more sleep. It is getting slightly easier to get Quinn to bed at a normal time if we stick to our schedule. If I get her in her bouncy and get it really dark, she usually fusses for about 10 minutes and then sleeps. If she is crying, I will calm her, rock her, whatever and then put her back down. Eventually, she seems content and drifts into sleepland. My favorite are the days that I will put her in there, she will grin and giggle and talk to me, and then fall asleep with no problems. This past week, she's been sleeping for about 4 hours at a time, so that's awesome!!! I will only have to get up once. It does stink that she's been getting up around 6:30 more than once to eat and I have to get up at 7, so I'm up a half hour earlier, but the longer stretches of sleep are helping drastically.

Last weekend we had Christmas with my dad. I have to say it was horrible! Poor Quinn was showing all of the signs of teething. Drooling, chewing, diaper rash, cranky, fever, etc. She screamed or whimpered or slept the whole time we were at the party. Eventually we found a little white thing in her upper right gum. I'm pretty sure it is a calcium deposit. If so, I hope she doesn't get any more. And I hope she doesn't have horrible reactions for every tooth too. We left the party as soon as we could basically. I wasn't feeling well and Quinn was a mess, so we went and got some stuff for her for teething. It helped a lot. By the time we got home and took her temperature, it was 101.6! I was freaking out. Some meds brought it down and it stayed down. I ended up getting a fever the rest of the weekend and into the week, so I think she was reacting to the thing in her mouth AND sick with a fever. Either way, she went back to her super happy self by Monday.

Here are some random pictures:
