First Big Crying

Delaney had her first big crying spell tonight. She was sleeping in her swing and all of a sudden woke up and started to cry really hard. It was hysterical crying and she seemed like she was in some pain. Randy and I carried her around and tried all the tricks like rocking, feeding her, pacifier....but nothing was working. We took her temperature---no fever. She wasn't pulling on her ears so we didn't think ear infection. She has been drooling a lot lately and chewing on her hand so we thought maybe she is one of those babies that teethe early. Randy raced off to the store to buy Baby Orajel while I stayed and rocked Delaney while she continued to cry. He got home, we put the Baby Orajel on her gums, and then she stopped crying. We were so excited that we figured it out. A couple of minutes later, she started making those grunting sounds that she does when she is pooping. I took her upstairs to change her, and what do you know----she pooped. Delaney was then happy as a clam, and was talking it up and dancing on her changing table.
So....the morale of the story is.....(thank you Nana)....if anything is wrong, try pooping....you'll feel much better.
My poor constipated little child. Nana would be so proud that pooping is what cured her.
