Current mood: shocked
It all makes sense now..... Mia has been acting unsually clingy today. Early this morning she woke up screaming and crying from what we thought was her first nitemare. Though it still may have been, it may have been more than just that. After much comforting from both Adrian and I and a bottle she went back to sleep for another couple of hours.
After she got up for the morning she was unsually EXTEEMLY clingy to me. So much that I couldn't even put her down on the ground to play with her toys. She not only wanted to be held, but she wanted to be cuddled close. She didn't want to play or do anything. Eventually it was nap time and I put her to bed and she just BLEW up.. I mean hardcore. The red face, tears, silent cry screaming the whole 9 yards. I thought she was just testing us to see how hard she needed to cry before someone got her up. So I left her in bed (I feel so bad about it now that I know what was really wrong with her). She eventually cried herself to sleep and slept for a couple of hours.
When she woke, she was still very clingy. Even as Adrian held her, she would scream for "Mama" and wanted me to come back into the room everytime I left to go do something. So I cuddled her and spent some time with her. I then put some Yo, Gabba Gabba on (her favorite). She usually plays with her toys and watches it, sometimes climbs on the TV stand so she can dance, but not today. She still didn't want me to put her down, not only did she insist on sitting on my leg but as soon as I put her down on the carpet so she could sit between my legs (I was getting sore from her sitting on my thigh) she just blew up, spun around and desperatly climbed back on me so she could sit on my leg again. This time she put one of her hands on my chest to make sure I was sitting right there watching her show with her. Eventually I picked her up and just cuddled her on the couch as we saw two episodes. After her show was over I tried to play with her but she only wanted to be held. Then I thought hmm... I haven't checked her mouth for new teeth in about a week, lets see if she has any bumps or signs of new ones coming in. I put my finger in her mouth and felt around... nothing... I felt the back and sides... nothing... then wait a min... what is this?!?! I felt her front top teeth and sure enough I felt something pokey and sharp! I called to Adrian "We got a new teethie!!!!" I lifted up her lip and looked and sure enough there was her little white tooth poking through, and not only that, the one right next to it was there too!! Again, she grew two teeth in one day!!! I was so proud! I congradulated her and cuddled her more. Then ran off to show Daddy, who was all suprised and happy too.
It all makes sense now why she was so clingy today. She wasn't feeling good. She didn't have a fever or anything but I guess she just felt blah... She now has 4 teeth! My little girl is growing up!!! Anyways, I gave her a nice warm bath and some tylonal before her bedtime bottle just for any future discomfort while she sleeps. Hopefully she will have a good night. Wow... 4 teeth!
