We have a tooth!

Well, our little Jayla has a tooth...Yep, that's right, her first tooth. It started to come out on Sunday, and now, it's a sharp little sucker. Ouch! (and yes, I'm still nursing, but no bites yet). She has a bad rash on her face and her little bum - poor little pumpkin! The rashes don't seem to bother her, but I'm sure her gums do. Her fingers have been permanantly living in her mouth for the past few weeks. The other thing that's suffering is 'our' sleep, since her sleeping or lack there of, has a direct impact on my sleeping. She had been doing so well with the sleeping - 11 hours a night - straight through for like 6 weeks, but then when the tooth started coming through, she's been waking up like 2-3 hours after she goes to bed for the night....crying - like a painful cry. And I can't ignore that. So, of course I come to her rescue with food and cuddles.
I do have comfort in knowing that I didn't do anything different when she did start sleeping through the night, so I guess eventually she'll go back to sleeping through again. I still (well, we still) get 8 hours - because she goes back to sleep after eating a bit more, and sleeps through till morning.

This Saturday we have a wedding to go to out of town. Nana and Papa will be looking after Jayla. We're going to be leaving her from 2:30pm until about 9:30 or 10:00pm...and I know it's not a long time, but it's over her bedtime. And since I'm the one that usually puts her to sleep (okay 99% of the time) - I'm a little worried about how it's going to go. Jayla's going to be all out of sorts....well, that's what I'm afraid of. I know we'll get through it. But I'm worried nonetheless.

Okay, well, we gotta go get our new couches unwrapped and situated in the new spots...so, I must go!

Oh, one more thing, we have Jayla's 6 month appointment on Thursday - so, I'll try and update after that.
