Tooth #1 is here :)

I was beginning to think that teething wasn't going to bother Gracelyn... that was until last night! Poor baby wouldn't go down... we tried everything and she was just scream bloody murder for hours :( We both felt so bad for our baby girl... she was clearly in a lot of pain... we tried everything.
Tylenol
Motrin
Oragel
and Hylands Teething tablets.
...on top of all of this we had to keep using the bulb syringe to clear her out because she couldn't breathe... which meant her binkie didn't stay in... which also kept her up! I hated listening to her cry last night but I knew that I couldn't make her feel better... aside from Brandy... which I was fairly close to getting ;) Just to help her sleep and numb those hurting gums... Finally David shut the door so we couldn't hear her and she eventually tired out and fell asleep... and slept till almost 10 today!

Thankfully today my eyes and my finger are SURE it is finally in... boy is that thing sharp... no more using mommy's finger as a teething toy!

I know this is just the beginning and I see the tooth right next to it trying to make its debut as well... I just hope it comes in quickly!

Thank you for all the advice you mama's gave me... everything helped :)
LOVE YOU ALL!

I'm so glad it finally poked through. Teething is horrible. Colin cut 2 teeth within a week of each other and it was 2 horrrrible weeks of crying. I'm hoping the rest of his teeth hold off for at least a little while so we get a break! I hope the same for you. :)

Yay! I'm glad it came through. She's going to get that other one any day now!
