Long night - whether from tooth pain or a stuffy nose or both, Casper woke crying every 45 minutes or so. We kept her in bed with us from 10pm on, and that helped - I'm pretty sure I didn't see the clock during the 11 hour or the 3 hour. Poor wight. Poor me.

In "people on the internet are stupid" news, several web sites I read yesterday suggested that there is no pain involved with teething in babies, since there is no pain when permanent teeth come in at age 6+. Now, Casper had an easy time with her 8 front teeth, but she is clearly in some discomfort with the molars, and I have seen a toddler screaming in pain from teething. What world do these people live in?

Also? I had, maybe not pain, but certainly discomfort, when my wisdom teeth came in! And I knew what was going on. I always imagine that's what makes things so hard on babies -- they don't know what's going on, and don't know what to do about it.
