I woke up to crying from the baby moniter. Peyton had not gotten up in the night in over 2 months so I was a little worried. I got out of bed and slipped my robe on as I made my way to the nursery down the hall. I opened the door and Peyton was sitting in her crib with tears streaming down her face and her hand in her mouth. I went over and took her into my arms.
                          
"What's wrong bug?" I asked her as I kissed her cheek. I noticed she was a little hot.
                          
"You are hot sweetie, shh its ok mommy's here." I sat down in the rocking chair with her. I tried to remove her hand from her mouth but she just screamed louder. 
                          
"Ok, ok hun I won't mess with you." Then I noticed something in her mouth, I got up laying her in her crib. "Can I see your mouth for a minute sweetheart?" I gently took her hand out of her mouth and searched her mouth as she cried. "Ok I know what your problem is. Your teething aren't you?" I asked her. I let her put her hand back Into her mouth as I picked her up. I felt someone behind me. Rob put his arm around me and kissed my neck
                          
"Is she ok?" He asked me.
                          
"She's teething. It's extremely painful for her." I told Rob as I sat in the rocking chair with her..I noticed with her other hand she was hitting her ear. I groaned knowing what this could be. I shifted her so I could see inside her ear and sure enough, she has a ear infection on top of teething. 
                          
"Rob it also looks like she has a ear infection too."
                          
"Oh god." 
                          
"Yeah" I said as I kissed Peyton. She was laying against me fussing. As I let her gnaw on my finger trying to relieve the pain. Rob went and got the thermometer taking her temp as I held her
                          
101.2.."shit" was all i could say. I looked down at my daughter who was struggling in my arms to get comfortable. I rubbed her back, telling her it was going to be ok. 
                          
Rob went downstairs to make her a bottle with some Motrin in it. Rob brought the bottle in and thankfully I got her to take it. When she started solids 2 months ago I switched her to the bottle but I still nurse her once at bed time. I didn't want to completely cut breastfeeding out because we both enjoy it but I didn't want to be nursing constantly either now that she's older. Peyton finished the bottle but cried pretty much the whole time. She was determined to finish it no matter how much it hurt. I handed Rob the bottle and burped her. She laid her head on my shoulder clutching her ear as she fell asleep
                          
I just sighed and decided that as long as she was asleep I was going to try and sleep too. I started to lay her in her crib. but as soon as I took my hand out from under her back she started crying again so I brought her into our bed and let her sleep on my chest. This was going to be a long night.
                          
7:30am
                          
I need coffee....I just spent the last hour crying. I hate seeing my baby like this. Her fever has been going up all night and every time I tried to give her a bottle after the first one it just came right back up so she isnt getting the medication and she screams everytime I try to put. her down. its mentally and emotionally killing me. 
                          
I climbed out of bed and laid Peyton next to her father while I snuck downstairs and made coffee. Rob came down a few minutes later. He came over and wrapped his arms around my waist. 
                          
"How are you this morning?" He whispered in my ear
                          
"Emotionally drained, I hate seeing her like this."
                          
"Me too sweeetheart. I know it's harder on you"
                          
"Yes...thank you for trying to help last night"
