Pain, pain, go away....

Dear My Little Lulu,
You finally passed out. And I do mean passed out, because I'm pretty sure after all that screaming you didn't fall asleep peacefully.

It's hard for me, as someone over the age of 1, to understand the full extent of what your teeny little body is going through right now. I'm pretty sure that 90% of adults would writhe on the floor in agony. I remember having "growing pains" when I was a teenager. All my joints were achy. I thought I had arthritis. But then I always thought I had something horrible. I blame it on my mom for having this "Diagnose Yourself" medical book: Do you have headaches? (check) Are you fatigued? (check) Do you sometimes see things that may or may not be there (check) - YOU HAVE BRAIN CANCER! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I wish I was kidding. Anyways, I can't imagine the aches of growing as fast as a baby does, on top of dealing with an immature digestive system (gas HURTS! Believe me, it doesn't get any better!), and pushing out new teeth. And on top of all that, being SOOOOOOO tired from taking in the world every waking minute.

I hope you sleep well tonight! I think I probably will....

until you wake up at 5....all giggly and cute.

Why can't you fall asleep that way?

Love you forever!
Ma
