Rough few days...

The last few days have been rough for Esther and Mommy & Daddy. After she had slept through the night for 5 nights straight, she has been sleeping fitfully for the last 6 nights in a row. Last night she was up every hour on average, and had a major meltdown around 4 a.m. We aren't exactly sure what's going on, but our best guess is that she is teething. 4 months is about the earliest babies teeth, and she is still 6 days short of 4 months, but we can't think of what else it would be. She seems to like sucking on a frozen teether zebra, so we figure she wouldn't like doing that unless it felt good to her. Dad called the doctor on call tonight and the doctor also thought her symptoms sounded like teething. Esther has her 4 months appointment with Dr. Kidd on Tuesday. She has to get more shots...
Poor little girl. Mommy & Daddy wish they could do more to help her, but at least this won't last forever. We gave her some baby Tylenol last night and tonight. Last night it didn't seem to help, but maybe it will work tonight. Crossing fingers....zzzz
