zennifer thank you so much for your reply -- i just need to feel like there is some reason to all this. it's been really tough -- last night, she was up every single hour, wanting to eat, would not fall back asleep. i just felt like she needed the comfort last night, so i fed her all night long. my house is a wreck and i look like hell and i'm pooped. i noticed that there are a few days (maybe 1 or 2 x's a week) where she onlyh wakes up 2 or 3 times during the night an those seem to be the days when she doesn't have any teething symptoms. i can't wait for those teeth to pop in! i had to tell my hubby over and over again that cio does not work whe they are teething adn that it would just be terrible to not respond to her when she's crying for a reason. i'm so tired of hearing all these people telling me to just let her cry so that she'll learn to sleep!

hearing about your experience just makes me feel like it's just part of a normal thing and it makes it all so much more bearable!
