Drama Queen #2

You know how your mother always tells you she hopes you get yourself back in your own child? I think that may have happened with my daughter, which is humorous when I say it to others, but when you deal with it first hand, makes you a little nuts at times. Yes, I was known as the drama queen when I was a toddler till...well that doesn't matter. I have been stressing out every day the past week thinking my daughter was cutting her top teeth. She cut her bottom two in a week and a half, which blew my mind. She was having this screaming spurts and I am thinking she must be in such pain, what can I do?! I am embarrassed to say I called my pediatrician because I wasn't sure if it was teething or something else. I guess you could say I have typical "new mom" syndrome of freaking out over everything these days. Apparently, the top teeth don't seem to be swollen or coming in yet, instead I was told she was "being dramatic". I seriously wanted to hide my head under the paper on examination table in shame. I was embarrassed that I rushed her in be told she was being dramatic. I thought to myself, " That is definitely my baby!". I never thought 6 month olds had tantrums, but apparently they do! I was also told to ditch the pacifier, which I can honestly say I am not doing quite yet. However, I was encouraged to try to get her to a set schedule and feed her more solid foods. Instead of three times a day, I am going to four times a day in addition to her bottles. I was told she may be hungry....so of course again the shame has overwhelmed me. I am happy nothing was wrong, but now feeling like I need evaluate things more often :) I take it as another lesson as a new mom, and thankfully at the end of today I have a healthy beautiful baby girl, who is just like her mommy :)
