FUSS BUCKET
Well, I think Dominik may be teething now. He started acting really fussy a couple days ago and that's definitely not normal for him. He didn't look sick or anything so my and dad felt his gums. It feels like there's a little something pokey in his upper gums and with they way he's been drooling and eating his fingers, I assume that's what's going on. He also hasn't been eating as much as usual. I need to educate myself on how long it usually takes for the tooth to come through the gums. We are on day 4 of fussy Dom now, but his gums pretty much feel the same to me. I got his teether toys put in the fridge though and picked up some orajel for him so hopefully it will work good.
I'm on vacation again this week, but still not doing anything very exciting. Just house work and running errands for the most part. Oh, and spending time with my fussy little guy. This vacation time came at a great time because after being told I couldn't get promoted because of the budget, they promoted SSG Lewis last Friday! I was so pissed off I confronted him and of course, no one could give me a good answer. Apparantely, there's money for everyone but me. Hopefully I will get a new job this October when they open up. I REALLY hope so as I'm sick of the buddy system at my work. I will just continue to do what I'm supposed to, but Mrs. Friendly is gone for the moment.
IN good news, the heat has finally gone down a little. Instead of being over 100, it's only in the 90's. It's still really hot, but I can definitely feel the difference in the temp. Oh, and I tried an Ostrich burger from Fuddruckers the other day and I highly recommend them! It was very good and they are really low in fat. It tasted really similar to a hamburger to me, but less greasy. MMmmm..... talking about them made me crave one right now. Maybe next week.
I guess that's all that's going on right now. Kelsey, if you have any insight into the teething thing, let me know. Thanks!!

Believe it or not, I don't have any teething insight. I didn't even notice when Chloe got her first tooth; I found out about it from her daycare teacher. All I know is that it's not uncommon for a baby to run a small fever (around 100) and be cranky while teething.
That totally sucks about your job. I'm assuming SSG Lewis is a man. I freakin hate sexist men. That kind of crap really pisses me off. Hopefully October will bring you a new, better job.
Good luck with the teething. I wish I could offer some advice, but Chloe never really had any normal teething symptoms.
Oh the joys of teething...you are doing all the stuff that is suggested, orajel, cool teething rings and if there is a temp a little tyelenol (what whatever your choice of baby med is) Usually it lasts a couple of days, but sometimes it goes longer.
I'm sorry to hear the job mess. At least you have a week off to be away from it all :0)
I was thinking about coming over this week but we are getting the last of the tiling done and I have to get the living room ready for the carpet to be installed on Monday. WooHoo! It will be weird to have that all done. Then it will just be mouldings and finishing stuff in the basement. Yeah, it's only been 8 months now:0) But hey, we did most of it ourselves!
Hope to see you soon- thanks for posting more photos of that cute baby. He is sure growing!
