- napping becomes only 20-30 mins (yes, per day)
- night wakings are earlier and earlier
- fussiness and generalized irritability
- seeming more tired (duh)
- not wanting to eat a lot
- lack of patience and increased frustration, ie hitting, biting, etc (possibly related to being tired, again, duh! it seems to make so much sense when I write it down
- new thing: whining and crying, almost inconsolable after naps (again, because she is still tired)! Gasp! even nursing wasn't a cure-all, in face, she even refused! I almost fell over right out of my chair.
Well, that made it look simple! For someone who is literally with her kid all day and most of the night, you truly would think that I would be more keen to these types of things. I guess I don't have blond hair for nothing!
Let's pray we both get a break, well, maybe it would be better for them all to come in at once and have one big month of hell. I don't know, and since I can't control it, I will deal with it how it comes. Wish us luck!

Those are totally our signs too! Unfortunately for us, they just continue one after another, but slow enough to drag on all those symptoms.
I'm with you, I wish they all came out in one month of hell, and then it'd be over with.
I downloaded a tooth chart and started to fill it out, she has gotten one new tooth every month since May, except August. So I hear you on the long drawn out symptoms...(big sigh of resignation and commiseration). Sometimes I really feel like I am slowly poisoning her with motrin and tylenol (which are given maybe once a day and in appropriate doses) BUT STILL. Think of her poor liver. I try other non-pharmological methods, but they don't work and it seems downright mean not to treat her, especially when I know she is hurting! Oh well. Who'da thought we'd be wishing for hell:)?
