Sleep...it's obviously overrated.

Maddie Kate still isn't sleeping all night. I know this phase has to end eventually but right now it feels like we will never actually sleep all night again. Baby girl had a tummy bug earlier this week and although she seems to be over it, tonight she seems to be suffering from gassiness...or maybe the fact that she's cutting 37 teeth at once is the reason she isn't sleeping and seems to be so uncomfortable! We've tried gas drops and Motrin and after trying for over an hour to get her settled she's finally asleep. Hopefully for a while. I'm not complaining...just documenting our current situation so we can look back and laugh when she decides she wants to sleep all night. Clearly she isn't cutting 37 teeth...I'm exaggerating. But she does appear to be cutting 5 at once. She has three on the bottom already and one just started popping up on the bottom and I noticed that the two teeth closest to her two front teeth are coming in and her two front teeth are bulging. She's such a happy little thing during the day but at night she is so unsettled! We just hate that she's obviously in pain and we haven't figured out how to make her comfortable. We will get there and this will all be a distant memory soon enough but it's sure a challenge now! It could definitely be worse and we count our blessings daily that we have generally healthy kiddos.

Also, Jim's dad has started feeling better and it's such a relief to everyone. He is still in the hospital but he's improving and we hope he can come home soon. If you read my blog keep he and Mary in your prayers. I know they're ready to get home so they can get back to normal...the kiddos and I are really missing them and can't wait to see them soon!

On a side note...Landon and MK went to stay with Aunt Sissy today and his cousins had fun painting his face! Apparently he was a trooper and enjoyed it as much as they did!! Little toots!!
