with the teething...have you heard of amber teething necklaces? I bought one for DD after her first couple of teeth came through and it has been the best thing, I only wish I'd got it sooner. I've hardly noticed her other teeth coming through, apart from her molars now which seem to be upsetting her at night (gotta love being woken up twice by screaming and then her staying awake from 2am until 4am ). I hate to think how much worse she would be without it!
Just keep thinking "this too shall pass"..I've said it myself more times than I can count!
