Last night Baby Hailey just couldn’t sleep!  Jamie and I went up to peak in on her and she was still churning around at about 9:30.  Usually she’s out by then.  We got her up and changed her diaper then I tried to rock her back to sleep.  That didn’t last long as she started screaming again in agony!!

She kept grabbing at her mouth so we figured it was her teeth hurting, she’s got two coming in at the same time now which can’t feel good.  We gave her some teething tablets but they just didn’t seem to do it this time.  She kept grabbing and grabbing at her mouth, always on one particular side.  I peeked in while she was screaming at full throttle and noticed she has some teeth coming in where she was grabbing, so Jamie grabbed some baby orajel and put a little bit right on the spot of each incoming tooth.  Before you know it we had our bouncy, giggly Baby Hailey back!  She was so much fun we kept her up for about an hour before finally putting her back to bed.  Normally she’d complain, at least a little when going to bed.  But this time she was so exhausted and so releived she just grabbed her blanky and rolled over to dream land.

I just wanted to take a moment to come on here and wish all you moms out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!!

I especially want to wish my wife Jamie a happy mother’s day as she relax’s a bit to try to recover from a bad cold.  I want her to get better so she can enjoy these last few months of pregnancy for the miracle it is and to thank God for blessing us with baby Hailey and baby Abigale on the way.  Have a great day!

Hailey has always been a mamma’s girl.  She likes to cuddle on mamma, she like’s mamma to hold her and if I was holding her she would jump over to mamma’s arms if she got the slightest chance.  I didn’t mind, I grew up as a mamma’s boy myself.  So I knew how she felt.  Recently Hailey has been shifting over to being daddy’s little girl. 

The past few days she has been cuddling up to me at least as much as she does to Jamie.  Hope that doesn’t hurt Jamie’s feelings any, but it really makes me feel good when Hailey just wants me to hold her or when she laughs hysterically when I play with her.  I’ve been trying to take the burden off of Jamie a little bit of bathing and carrying Hailey because Jamie’s already carrying Abby everywhere.  I think that may be helping toward Hailey warming up to me a bit.  Whatever the cause, it’s a nice feeling having her not cry whenever I take her from mamma.  She still loves her mamma and loves to cuddle up to her, but now I’m included in the fun.  Being a father is without a doubt the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
