Inevitable

I fear we may be dealing with teeth. Or the beginning of. I want to know where my placid and sweet baby went. We've had three or four days of unusual fussiness with no other apparent cause-no fever, no rash, nothing. I don't want to be a nervous first time mother freaking out type, but even my mother is encouraging me to call the pediatrician tomorrow and make sure it's nothing. If it is teeth, we'll get through it. It's just earlier than I expected...and it'll be a little frustrating until she can get her own teethers into her mouth.

Ah well. She's still fabulous.

We're having some similar things with K the past few days. Just randomly starts crying really hard and gnawing on her hand. No visual or tactile evidence of any teeth about to erupt, but holy hell, I'm waiting for her head to start spinning.

We've had extra drooling, hands in the mouth more than usual and an appreciation for cold teething toys...I'll let Dr. Rodriguez check her out just in case I'm not seeing something that's wrong, but it may just be the beginning of teeth It's all part of the job, whatever it is.

Sounds like it to me. Possible that it's a sore throat or something, but probably just teeth. It's early but not too early. Kendra actually really dislikes the chilled teethers, go figure. I hear Hyland's Teething Tablets are great. We have some, but I'm loathe to give them to her without definite signs of impending pearly whites.

Isabella started teething behaviours @ 7 weeks & now @ 10 weeks has 2 little white bumps peeking through.
