Sleep?

My oh my. It's very frustrating to have a baby who is a great sleeper suddenly throws a wrench in their schedule. Monday night, Natalie (who usually goes to bed at 7) fought sleep until 10:00. She has had a low grade fever due to teething (although I see no bumps so I have no idea how long this is going to take). She was wide awake then at 5. You'd think if you stay up late, you'd want to sleep in. Then all day yesterday she was a big crab, due to the teeth and no sleep. I finally gave her teething tablets at 6:30 last night and she was asleep in 5 minutes. Relief! Should have known that would backfire. She was then up at 3 to eat, and back down. Then up at 3:30, tried to make her eat again, and back down. Up at 4. Downstairs to the swing where she was up babbling until 4:30. Then up the stairs to bed, and screaming the second she went in the crib. Then I drug the swing up the stairs and into my room. Finally both of us sleeping. Ryan gets up for work at 5:15. Puts her in her crib. More screaming. He gets her to sleep when he leaves at 5:45. Awake at 6. Not happy. Well, I'm not. Here's what she looks like. Grr.

OH poor girls. The lack of sleep is terrible. We are actually going to Stl for Sam's going away on the 11th. We are just going to miss eachother by a few days. :( I would love to compare the two at this age. Zach has one tooth and has stopped teething.
