Ruthie's Teeth
Ruthie's Teeth
Well, the week started off like any normal week. Jonathan is off on a Missions Trip in Annville, PA and I'm working on unpacking all of our things at our new place in Central PA! I figured Ruthie would be a little out of sorts with the move and her daddy being out of town, so I didn't plan too much for the week. Figured we'd relax, maybe spend time with her bestie Ava Grace, but nothing definite. Well... Did my little girl having something completely different in store for mommy.
Jonathan helped unload the moving truck on the rainy Saturday afternoon, helped set up Ruthie's crib, and then started his journey back to Leesburg, VA. I worked as hard as I could in Ruthie's room while she napped in my parents room. I got a lot accomplished! (Good thing!) Ruthie had a pretty uneventful evening, but things were getting ready to change... drastically!
Ruthie and I celebrated Father's Day fatherless... well... sort of :) -- I woke up at 6:30 am to feed my precious little girl and then took her downstairs to play while I made my 1st EVER Father's Day breakfast for my daddy! (He always gets up way before I ever could!) I made my dad eggs and coffee and brought him breakfast in bed. We got ready for and left for church and then after the service, headed home. We had plans to go up to Eric and Pinky's place for an early dinner and then off to the Spikes baseball game later.
Ruthie didn't nap up at Eric and Pinky's that afternoon so I knew the evening was slowly heading toward disaster. We got up to the Spikes game... but that's about as far as we got. I walked around with Ruthie and she was pretty content but as soon as I went to sit down... she wanted to be up and moving again. I decided after an hour, that for my sanity, it was best just to take her home and put her into bed. Good decision momma!
The next morning, if she was awake, she was crying and fussing. I knew instantly there was something up, but figured she was just having a hard time adjusting to the move and not having her daddy around. I tried taking her for walks, playing outside, ... but she was a mess! The next day would be the same. By the second day, I was figuring it was probably her teeth so I gave her some teething tablets and every once in a while, a little Tylenol to help with the pain. June 22nd 2009 Ruthie's first tooth appeared!
I thought things would be different after the tooth popped through, but Ruthie continued to be fussy and very clingy. Two days later, her second tooth appeared!
Ruthie is doing much better now that her bottom teeth are through! Of course, daddy came home the next day and found a very happy daughter waiting by the door to greet him.
Now we are spending a few days down in New Bern, NC with Jonathan's family. A nice way to end the month after such a crazy last few weeks.
