teeth!!!

i have noticed that kylee has been really gnawing on her burp rags (not her teething toys, that would be too easy of course ...) but she hasn't had a fever, red cheeks or some of the other things that are red flags for teething. she was drooling a lot more than normal, but that was all. just two days ago i saw a little white speck on her bottom gums. i felt around (as she tried to eat my finger) and did feel a little bump. it is a tooth!! it has finally come after seeing how she's been drooling and chewing on everything fabric object she can reach. so as if teething wasn't making her grumpy enough, she has gotten her first cold. she is congested and coughing ALL THE TIME. poor baby, she coughs so hard that she gags and then throws up. she hasn't been eating very much and she's been having such a hard time sleeping. i never want to go through this again ... i had taken her in last friday to the doctor (after having three restless/wakeful nights) and he said that her lungs were clear and that she might just be teething. but later on that day she started a small cough and by saturday had a more pronounced cough. by sunday night she was coughing hard and throwing up and i just took her in today and the doctor told me she had an ear infection. ugh ... poor little baby, i can tell she's just not happy and not feeling good, but she got some amoxicillin and should be feeling better in the next 24 hours. we are both miserable right now, but the end is in sight (hopefully, crossing my fingers)
