I’m here, sorta…
A few days ago I decided to pull out the cross stitch I’m working on for my sister. It is beyond beautiful. I keep stitching it and keep wanting to keep it for myself instead. It’s a Blue Fairy Princess with a powder blue background, lots of metallic blending filaments (pain in the butt to work with by the way) and some bead work. Hopefully, I’ll be done with it next week and can get back to my regular life.
I’ve also been caught up in Dave Barry and Ridley Peirson’s “Peter and the Shadow Theives”. It’s a prequil to Peter Pan. I’d love to read the original by James Barrie some day. I can’t find it at our Bookmark.
Teething is also going on over here. Soooo not fun. I don’t like seeing my son in pain and even more, I don’t like him not eating well because of it. We even tried the rice cereal in his bottle last night. Whoever said that keeps them down longer is full of crap. Yes, you read right, full of crap. He actually woke up earlier than usual…and then again for a second time, now. Granted, that could be due to him wanting to chew on anything just to make his gums feel better. C’mon teeth, get here already, Mommy wants sleep! Yes, I’ve tried Oragel, it’s meh and it smells like fake cherries, blech.
Heh, yeah, another reason why I’ve been scarce is that usually…usually, John sleeps 7 hours in a row and Bry will put him back down. I typically blog at the butt crack of dawn if he gets up for a second time in the night. That hasn’t happend in a LONG time.
I’ll get photos up of our new couch soon. I have ‘em, just haven’t uploaded them or resized them yet. Like I said, doin’ lots of not internet stuffs lately.
*Hugs*

I have a copy of Peter Pan if you’d like to read it.

When Serena started teething I would give her tylenol before bed and it helped a lot. She is getting more teeth in now and it really seems to help her fall asleep faster. Maybe you should try some of the German baby food. Good luck.

for teething i would let braden gnaw on frozen food- like a waffle or bagel–then if he got a bite out of it it would be so mushed up it wouldn’t matter…when he got older we gave him frozen blueberries- those are a lifesaver….good luck with teething

i did give braden tylenol on some days, and i even tried the teething tabs- i am not entirely sure that they made a difference or i just thought they did.
