And the Papa Bear said to the Mama bear, “who’s been sleeping in MY bed?”

Well, Mia didn’t quite make it to her bed last night.  She was just so cozy and warm all snuggled next to me while I read and when Bill came in and saw her, he told me not to move her. 

I think this came from the fact that we both noticed a huge, bruised swelling in the bottom left side of her gum.  It is so painful looking, and Bill checked it to make sure it was not an abscess.  The molar is just trying to push through, and is causing lots of swelling and such.  This would be the last of the 8 teeth she has been trying to cut in one months time.  She has a new nickname during this time…..we call her Screaming Mimi.

I gave her some Tylenol, and put some baby Orajel Nighttime Formula on it.  I have NEVER used this stuff before, but out of desperation for a good nights sleep, had purchased it yesterday at the grocery store. 

I am afraid to verbalize this out loud, but, psst…come closer and I will whisper it to you………She slept straight through until 4am.  <GASP> 

I am well rested and don’t even feel the need for my second cup of macchiato this morning!!!  Need and want are two different things, though. Right?
