Thankfully it finally deflated enough with drinking, but it it still tender.

Day 75 - De-cluttering Books
While I still don't have a clear goal for the 100 Days, I'm enjoying reading people's posts of their progresses. It is very inspiring to see.
Today I went through my book collection, half of which includes what is left of my mother's collection. Even though I had gone through it several times before, there are still a lot I want to hold onto. This time I only got two small bags (one Japanese pile, one English pile). Still, it is a cull. I also found books I wanted more easy access to, and some I had forgotten about.
One of the books I found was A Perfect Calm. It's a pocket book of visualisation by Alan Hewitt. Here is an example entry:

Day 62 - Worrying
Worrying got me nowhere.
Baby in pain and I had no clue what was going on.
So I napped with her.
While she was in her deep sleep I got up and did some more writing.
While she was awake, it was a matter of gauging where her mood was at, trying to eliminate possible cause. It's frustrating to not know why, but also, it must be so frustrating for her too not be able to communicate, just cry out.

Day 48 - Frozen Carrots
I give baby frozen carrots for teething. It was something a friend mentioned she does with her baby. I also read about frozen towels, keeping teething chew toys in the freezer, teething gel from the pharmacy, and homeopathy drops for gum issues. My baby seem to enjoy the carrots the best.
She also enjoys chewing on the teething gel tube. Although she doesn't like the flavour of the gel itself, she has associated the numbness that comes with the tube. She is not dexterous enough to open the lid so I allow her to play with it.
The frozen carrots allows her to regulate the amount she needs herself. Some days it's just one stick, other days it could go up to 4 sticks before she asks for hugs and boobs.
It shows me that this little person is capable of making her own judgement on how much she needs of the carrots, in comparison to H or I making the judgement on her behalf with the amount and frequency of giving her the gel.
