Signs that your baby is teething

Print

I am officially Eli’s teether! Sometime i wince, sometime i scream, but this is just the beginning. He is now 4 months old today. So if you are trying to figure out what has gotten into your ever fussy baby, check for this signs, as he may just be teething..

-Drooling
-Gum swelling and sensitivity
-Irritability or fussiness
-Biting behavior
-Refusing food
-Sleep problems

If this applies, welcome to my club. It won’t be till around 3 years when the mouth will be full :)

You can help your baby by applying some pressure on his gums, offer a teething ring, a cold washcloth to bite on, or apply some baby orajel , or if  the pain is unbearable check with your pediatrician as Tylenol may be your best bet.

Take care of your little one, Teething is a pain!

Is it really worth it?

Print

Sometimes we get so caught up in the little things in life we find ourselves getting so worked up, all stressed out, and it get all written up on our faces and we can’t even place a fake smile on it. Is this really worth it?

There is so much energy and time put in on  when people focus on the negative stuff that if you really take time and think about it, and if only we could only snap out of it for even a second and channel that energy toward something positive ,  really what a reward this could be.

Are you the type of friend that can never forget what your friends did to you? No matter how much they have apologized you can’t let go? When you do finally forgive, do you bring it back up  every time something else goes wrong? We have to learn to let things go. We need to accept things as they are. People make mistakes, people disappoint each other, and at times some will totally screw things up. Do we flash all that history we have had together away, or do we give each other second chances?

One of my friends that i met through high school has become one of my lifetime friends. We don’t get to talk to each other every day or even that often. She lives in a completely different continent from me, but when we do talk, it is like we just pick up from where we left off. There is never complains, or blame, or pointing fingers about who didn’t call who, or why one is not there for the other as such. We have that connection. I know she will be there for me no matter what, and she knows i would do the same for her.

So, In friendships, in business, in marriages, and life overall there will come a time when people will disagree. When one person would feel like they are carrying a larger part of the load, or even feel like they do not like another person and what they represent…We just need to be able to look for the good in each other, and focus on that, rather than holding onto the bad. We need to do our very best and don’t worry about what others are doing or not doing. We need to be able to coexist, as it isn’t really worth getting on each others nerves, or allowing ourselves to let go of our inner joy.

Life is too precious, i say, no it is not worth walking around with a frown on my face. Bye bye negative thoughts, hello joy!
