Oh My!

I have been wanting to blog for a few days now, but haven't quite found some quiet free time to do so.  Lexi is, as usual, keeping me on my toes everyday.  The last couple of days more so then usual.  You see since Friday things have gone downhill, everything about her has changed.  She no longer hardly eats anything at meal time and most of the time doesn't even finish her bottles!  She has had some wicked diarrhea (TMI, I know, but it is my blog) and is constantly a fussy pants who doesn't know whether she wants to be held or walk around.  Everyday I think.... today is going to be the day that a tooth appears and explains all of this new, strange behavior..... and everyday there is nothing but gums smiling back at me.  Therefore, I keep going back and forth with my anxiety of what am I doing wrong that is causing this or is it really just her finally getting ready to cut some teeth?!?!?!  Since she has turned one I feel more and more like I may not be doing the right things for her.  Am I feeding her enough of everything she needs?  is she on the right track with her speech?  how am I ever going to get her off the bottle if she isn't feeling well and it is the only way to get some food down her?  How am I going to get her off the baby food if she has no teeth and prefers it to most table foods, because it is so much easier for her to eat?!  Gone are those days of just bottles, sleep, and diapers.  Looking back, even though I was scared and anxious then that was so easy!  So keep your fingers crossed everyone that this is simply just her way of teething and once everything starts to finally happen she will get back to normal and start eating and pooping the way she should!!!!  Thank goodness I have such great friends and family that keep encouraging me and letting me know that everything is going to work out okay.
