Teething again
Posted by Missy Roberts at 7:37 PM About Jake
We finally made it to church this morning. We haven't been in a few weeks for various (poor) reasons. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it through the whole service. Jacob got up this morning at about 5:45am, which then threw his morning routine off a bit. When we left for church, he was already tired and should have been sleeping. I was thinking I would just let him nap during the service. Well, when we got there, he fell asleep during the worship, but only slept maybe 10 minutes, then he woke up crying...so we went into the mommy room. He was fine there, playing with his toys (and taking other kids toys) and then all of a sudden he started crying (and pretty loud too!). So of course I thought he was sleepy. I tried putting him to sleep, but he kept screaming. So I took him outside, where he calmed down a little, but then started screaming again. I realized it was time for a bottle. So back into the room for a bottle. He drank a couple of ounces and started SCREAMING again. That was it, I packed up our stuff and took him outside again. We sat by the fountain for a little and he was okay, then the screaming started again. He didn't want his bottle, he didn't want to sleep, he was teething. Yesterday I saw his two upper teeth wanting to break through. Then in the morning during his breakfast I noticed a dark blue spot on his gums over what will eventually be his right front tooth. So we called Grandma Gloria to see what she said about it...apparently it's normal. So I know that he is teething again. So anyway, back to the church story...I texted daddy to tell him we needed to go. All the way home Jacob was SCREAMING!!!!!! He was crying so much that he started to gag himself and when we were about 2 miles from home...he gagged so much that all of his bottle came back up, onto his shirt, jeans, carseat and me! Yuck! Poor baby. We got home I took off his jeans and gave him some teething tablets. Once he took those he fell asleep for about 1 1/2 hours and then he was pretty much fine the rest of the day. Unfortunately, we were supposed to meet one of daddy's friends for lunch (Bruce and Taylor). So daddy had to go to the lunch alone, but then they came back to our house to hang out for a little while. I hope those teeth come in soon.
Yesterday, Jacob, nani and I went to "My Gym". A new one opened up by our house and they had an open house. So we went to check it out. Jacob had a GREAT time there. HE was climbing up and down all over the mats there. Of course he found a little girl to fall in love with and they seemed to keep running by eachother. they were so cute. He loved climing up on one of the larger mats and then climb off of it. I thought we would just check out the place and maybe stay 30 minutes...we were there for 2 hours and Jacob was non stop the whole time. Fortunately, Nani and I were able to get a 10 minute chair massage when we were there (but now both of us are sore today! so much for a massage!). Daddy was able to come for the last hour and he and Jacob had a great time climbing over everything.
This past week Jacob and I stayed in most of the week. Jacob was still getting over his cough and the air outside was yucky. There were many wildfires going on in Lake Arrowhead, Orange County, by Magic Mountain and in San Diego. It was so windy last Sunday and Monday which didn't help the firefighters. Our house smelled like smoke on Sunday night and we weren't really close to any of the fires. Anyway, we stayed in to make sure Jacob didn't inhale that dirty air. Jim, Jen and Matt got evacuated from their house in SD for one night. We were praying for them that they would be able to return to their home unharmed, and they did!
Other than that we had a pretty boring week staying inside. This weekend was fairly good. Jacob has been waking up VERY early...which is not pleasing to mommy and daddy. He's been waking up somewhere between 5:30 and 6:00 am. I'm not quite sure why. He's been going to sleep at about the same time as usual. Anyway, I am hoping that trend ends soon because I'm not a big fan of waking up that early!
Well, this week is Halloween and Jacob is all ready to show off his Tigger costume at City Hall during the day and then at church at night. We can hardly wait. So until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
