The past month has been crazy for us, we have been extremely busy and I feel like I’ve been just trying to survive. Husband has had tight deadlines and has had to work from the office rather than home making things a bit more unsettled. Anyways I was absolutely exhausted, by the way I’m also twelve weeks pregnant so that may add to the exhaustion, so when Squirm was not herself and had a slight temperature I couldn’t think clearly enough to go through my usual checklist. Instead I tried to take her to the doctor only to find there were none available and so I came home even more concerned.

Husband finally said to me, do you think it might be teeth? She’s been like this before. I said ‘No, she already has a full mouth of teeth.’ I did check though and discovered to my relief and embarrassment a molar coming through right in the back. The dribbling made sense, the lethargy made sense, the slight temperature and copious poos all made sense and I felt a little silly. This mothering thing is meant to get easier, I should know this basic stuff instead I just feel like I am battling through a fog of fatigue to find some common sense, sometimes I win the battle sometimes I don’t.
