the kid can't catch a break...and neither can her momma

It has been a tough week for little EG.

First, she is teething. She is always teething (has 6 already) and it is never easy for her. It causes disrupted sleep, poor eating and lots and lots of drool and finger chewing. She has her first incisors on the bottom and next she was supposed to get the teeth next to them, also incisors. But, I swear to you she has skipped them and is working on the canines. (I don't know any of this without looking at a tooth development chart.)

Teething and drooling leads to diaper rash. On Monday evening, we were playing before bed and she started to cry and throw what looked like a tantrum. E and I looked at each other like "This is fun. What is this??" We decided it was bedtime. When I picked up EG she started really crying and I realized her little butt hurt. When we changed her diaper, she had the reddest, angriest diaper rash yet. Poor kid. She got herself so worked up that after E fed her part of a bottle about 20 minutes later, she threw up all over E, herself and the chair. It was the first time it's happened to her and she was scared...which led to more crying.

Tuesday she was clingy and needed lots of "derriere to the air" time.

Today she woke up with her worst cold yet...sneezing, obvious congestion, a little coughing. Combined with the teething, she is just a faucet...and she's still trying to get rid of the diaper rash.

Poor kid....we still have Thursday and Friday to go.

Update: So, in addition to getting thrown up on earlier this week, E had a tough time tonight while I was out for a while. EG was getting some time with her behind to the wind, when she pooped on the kitchen floor. E put EG in the sink to clean her up while trying to keep the dog out of the way. EG reached over and grabbed a glass and dropped it in the sink, breaking it. It's been a tough week for both my girls.
