Still crazy after all these nights

So we are going to the pediatrician's office today...
I broke down and called after another bad night. It has been almost 2 weeks of hell and it might not be the teeth. I thought as much but I did not want to seem like the hysterical parent which they still seem to make you feel. Did you know that Orajel caused serious side effects???
I wonder what they are? The nurse stated that it is not recommended and in fact just a little of Tylenol or Motrin should do the trick with some cold washcloth or teething ring... well, I told my husband this and we both laughed...
What do you do when after you give him the tylenol and /or motrin and he doesn't want the teething ring or washcloth and just stares at you screaming... Maybe that Orajel isn't such a bad idea particularly at 2 in the morning and at 3 and at 4 and at 5... Though we have never loaded up on medications every hour.

I can say honestly that last week was a blur. I can't really remember it and I feel like I am still catching up on sleep. I think that driving to work would have been a joke today. I am not sure but I would have been a danger to everyone around me as well. I still not sure how everyone else who is parent does it.

And I still love the little bugger...
