Cranky pants leads to no sleep

Argh. Today is one of those days that I wish I could crawl back into bed. Evie sleeps 11 hours at night...normally. I think she's got another ear infection (or two) and just didn't want to stay asleep last night. I was lucky to get 1 hr uninterrupted between wakings. Hopefully, after the Dr visit, she'll be feeling better today.

If she does have an ear infection, that will be two following teething episodes. Hmmm...cause and effect? We'll see. She's now officially got 5 teeth! Two on top and three on the bottom. She has also discovered how to grind her teeth, which is an awful noise. Anyone have any advice on how to get her to stop grinding her teeth together?

Update: No ear infections. Just pressure on the ear drums caused by the extremely stuffy nose caused by the teething. I'm really surprised it's not an ear infection. She's been tugging at the right ear all weekend. Treatment includes suctioning out the nose on a very frequent basis to lessen the pressure (and the risk it will turn into an infection). Oh, and she's over 20 lbs now!
