Remind Me to Shut My Pie Hole

Remember when I was all "Gianna always sleeps through the night.  I am so lucky. Yada yada yada"?  Well, I knew I shouldn't have even mentioned it, not even so much as whispered it, because as soon as I did BAM!  She starts waking up on me.  Couple that with the fact that I already have a hard enough time sleeping when Hubs is not in town I have turned into a walking zombie.  I am thinking it's her teeth but I am not too sure.  To save my sanity, cuz ya'll know I need my sleep, I have bringing her into bed with me when she wakes up early in the am.  Wouldn'tcha know?  As soon as she lays in bed with me she snuggles up to me and she is out like a light.  ::Sigh::  I am probably starting a bad habit.

This morning when she woke up I decided I was going to be tough momma and not let her in my bed.  I went in and consoled her to the point where she was willing to lay back down.  When I finally got her to that drowsy but not totally asleep stage I snuck out of the room very MacGyver like.  I slipped into my bed and after a half hour I finally started to fall back asleep.  Yup, you guessed it.  As soon as I started to drift off to sleep she starts up again.  I then thought to heck with this being a tough momma crap, grabbed her from her crib, and brought her into bed with me.  We both peacefully slept for another hour and a half.

When Hubs comes home this weekend we are going to tackle this waking up business.  Does he know that he is going to be an integral part in getting Gianna to stay asleep?  No, not yet.  But he will catch on real quickly. ;)

Goodbye Gummy smiles and 6 mth stats.

Gianna woke up with a bit of a fever today so I gave her some Tylenol, fed her and did what I do every morning at least once- felt her gums for teeth. To my surprise I felt something!! We have a tooth!! I can feel it but I have yet to see it. Little stinker will not let me look into her mouth no matter how much bribing I am doing. It's the bottom left tooth. The right bottom tooth looked like its going to come up any day now when I looked yesterday.

Funny thing is that the doctor yesterday said that she did not see any teething going on when she looked at Gianna's gums yesterday. She actually said and I quote "Its going to be a while before she gets any teeth." Of course my daughter had to prove that mean lady who poked and prodded her wrong. I am going to miss that gummy smile.

She officially weighs 19 lbs and 13 ounces and is in the 95% for weight. She is 28 inches long. Which means we are back on the charts for height at 99%. Her head is in the 70% but I can not for the life of me remember the measurements and I am too lazy to go look it up.
