On the mommy frontier...

Isn't it amazing how easy it is to talk about your kids at any given time? Well unfortunately my little girl is sick this week. She came home from her dads on Sunday and she had the fever and runny nose, all the parents out there know how much fun the runny nose is. She was of course very crabby and needed a lot of attention and I could not get anything done all day. I can not make up my mind if she is sick or just teething however. She is only about 18 months old so she could definately be teething, she has the clear runny nose like she is teething and the fever and crabbyness could also be linked to the teething, she is drooling like crazy as if she is teething and you can see the whitness of a tooth trying to come in on the bottom so I am thinking now that she is sick along with the teething. She cried most of the night and not a normal cry you could tell something was hurting her and she seemed to calm down after I put the orajel on. So I gave her some children's advil for the fever and laid with her until she fell asleep. I am going to give her a day or two and see how she is doing and if she is still sick I will probably end up taking her to the doctor to hopefully get her some medicine to help her feel better. Sound more like teething or sick? Anyone care to share an opinion?
