Two teeth in the house!

We knew from the very first beta that squish was going to be an over achiever and she's kept up her streak with the new appearance of not one, but two teeth! 

Tada! I told her pediatrician at her 4 month appointment that I was sure she was teething but he didn't really believe us. I know 4 months is early, but her daddy got his first tooth at the same time so she just had to one up him by getting two. 

It's been a really rough 4 days, we're not big fans of medicating an infant, but I've had to give her Tylenol for the past 4 nights after our arsenal of night time gripe water, night time hylands teething tablets and punkin butt teething oil weren't enough to let her sleep peacefully. During the day she does great with distractions, a little punkin oil, her frozen teether and a washcloth soaked in dluted chamomile tea, but at night she has a pretty tough time. 

I'm hoping the worst is behind us now, she's exhausted and we're exhausted from waking up so much at night. I've been trying to avoid giving her two doses of Tylenol in the same night but if she wakes up struggling at 2am after the first dose has worn off, I might have to give in tonight. Her poor sore gum makes it tough for her to nurse and then getting hungry makes her extra cranky. 

We've been extremely lucky thus far to avoid that horrible teething diarrhea but just in case we've been putting on our favorite CJs Butter diaper spray at every change. 

The all natural mango, sugar and mint is my favorite scent, it smells so delicious you want to eat it and it keeps her skin clear and moisturized. We're also partial to the Monkey Farts scent but really, you can't go wrong with any of them to protect little bottoms and delicate skin. 

Over Achiever on Board!

We had our wonderful ultrasound yesterday and we officially have one over achiever on board! And a tired, slightly nauseous mama lol. Our little bean is growing right on time, they correctly measured 6 weeks 1 day yesterday which is fabulous and much to my amazed surprise, we actually saw a tiny heart beating away!

Everything looked good, the sac, yolk sac, fetal pole and tiny flickering heart. Now that we've seen a heart beat, even though it's only 6 weeks, Dr. D says that our miscarriage risk has dropped to 5%. It felt great to hear him say that but the anxiety is still there. Our next check in will probably be next week and I think I'm going to ask E to video the screen so I can peak back at that heartbeat whenever I want to.

Hi little bean :)

I hope one little bean means an easy, healthy pregnancy. I'm feeling a good deal of queasiness but haven't thrown up so I consider that a win. The bloating is also getting even more noticeable, even from last week to this week. Our embie is still tucked way behind my pubic bone but with all the progesterone I'm shoving up my girly bits, my stomach is huuuuuuge. I'm already getting looks from people side-eying my belly but my lips are sealed, we're planning to keep things under wraps for quite some time. I don't think we'll be announcing even a hint until after all our genetic testing and our anatomy scan at 20 weeks.
