Yes, I said BITES!!
I emailed to check on the status of my glider chair...and it is on back order. Yeah, until the 23rd of July. Crap...and I spend all this time going back and forth on which one to choose and how much to spend and finally decided to choose this one, spend a little more money than I really wanted to, but this was a good one, good reviews, good quality, decent price.
Such a bummer...so they can either cancel my order or keep it and I would get it probably by that next weekend. It is just 3 weeks away...can I wait that long? Oh, I don't know. I saw one at BRU last weekend that would do...wonder if I should just do it. Crap.
Oh, the wonderful world of crabbiness. Isn't it funny how one person's mood seems to rub off on the next person and the next and so on...
Miss J has been being a crabby butt since Saturday. Yeah 6 days. At first I was worried she might have an ear infection. But then the crabbiness would come and go, and only be in the afternoons. Then Tuesday it started being in the mornings, and afternoons (at least with me, she seemed to be fine at school). This morning, I was almost ready to just put her in the car at 7am and take her to school so I could finish getting ready.
I am not sure what is up with her. Maybe just more teething. She has 6-teeth (4-bottom, 2-top). So it could be more, she also has a runny nose (which usually goes hand in hand)...but then an ear infection usually follows. But, she has not gotten a fever yet. So, I don't want to rush to the doctor just to find out it is nothing.
The other thing it could be is pure frustration. I think we all get that way sometimes. She is at the point where she is moving around a lot. Crawling, moving along walls, furniture, animals, mom and dad. And so now she wants to be everywhere, and be in everything. Well, we have to tell her No sometimes. No, you can't go in there, No, please don't play with that. And I think she may be getting frustrated because she is beginning to understand. I use the word beginning loosely. She wants to be everywhere, but she can't...that is contradicting...why can't I be there but I can be here...why can't I touch this but I can touch that. So she is frustrated and confused, and beginning to see where life throws you a curve ball and you have to set limits and know right from wrong...and get this...become responsible for it!! Ahhh.
Don't we all wish we didn't have to be responsible for knowing anything? That we could just do things that we know is wrong, but is easier to do...and just do it without having any consequences? Ahh, the life of an infant that does not know.
Only time will tell what the real issue is with Miss J. It could be just the teeth and next week she will be fine. Or, she could all of a sudden jump up this weekend and start walking...and this was all her preparation for that.
Or...it could be growing pains. I have heard those are real. You know, when your bones hurt and ache because you are growing. I remember having that in my legs when I was a teenager...and I would get such horrible pains in the night I would have to cry myself to sleep. That could be what she is going through too.
Oh...how I wish she could talk sometimes.
Off for the night. I will update more on how things went at WW. I LOVED it!!!

Sorry about the crabbiness! I totally understand. :-) Hope you get your glider soon!!!~Melanie
I hope Miss J's crabbiness goes away soon! I remember growing pains when I was younger too and they were awful!! I hope whatever is bothering her goes away soon!
I can't wait to hear about WW!
I hope miss J is back to her old self again soon!!
Can't wait to hear about the WWs!! I am glad you liked it!!
I am glad to hear that WW went well.
I don't blame Miss J for not liking to hear the word no. It is a difficult word to get used to. I hope she is feeling better and happier soon!
I hope Miss J begins to feel better soon and you are able to figure out what is wrong with her. I can't wait to hear about the WW meeting....I hope this works the way you want it too!
I know that is such a tough time when you don't know what they want to make them happy, but you try everything and nothing works. I've been there!! It doesn't last forever, though, I promise.
Secondly, on the communicating thing, have you heard of baby signs? It's awesome. It's not ASL, although some parents do teach their children that, but it's more simple, with words that are already in your baby's "vocabulary in her head." Things that she knows what they are - pacifier, food, drink, mommy, daddy, dog, cat, etc. I used that book with Shannon, and before I could even teach her some signs, she had shown me she had her own... and they were either exactly or almost exactly what the common signs were in the book. It's a great way to bridge the gap between now and when she learns to talk, and it doesn't hamper their talking, it actually helps it.
Let me know if you are interested in hearing more, or if you have questions about it.
I hope J is just teething and that it isn't anything that will need you to take her to the dr.! That really stinks about your glider. Backorder stinks! :P
I don't even want to think about Chloe teething--I have heard how unhappy it makes the little ones!
Good luck on the glider. I got one off craig's list for only $40 and I just love it for rocking and nursing!
Wow. I am totally unobservant. :)
I have been checking to see if you posted a lot, but kept seeing the "private" post and never scrolled down so I;ve missed so much.
I hope your glider shows up quickly! I think after we move, I might invest in one...
I'm glad everything worked out with the hormone thing and you have a plan...
I hope FIL is back to good very quickly - so glad that they figured out what was going on!
