Finally, finally, finally! Carl's first tooth has broken through!!! There is still a lot more going on in that little mouth of his, but it has finally cut through. This journey has been a long one.
Our journey for teeth started back in August. There was the little sign of drool, then he wanted to chew on everything, and every so often when he would nurse he thought it would be a good idea to try and gum me!!! He learned very quickly that was not part of the plan. But these little signs brought nothing. Then there were the days when his gum would swell up but a few days later he would be fine.
Then there was the Saturday after Thanksgiving (and the night before) he was miserable!! He was up most of the night crying and he spent that morning and early afternoon crying unless he was held constantly. This was so stressful due to it being Friendsgiving. But we survived. And I thought his tooth would have broken through that weekend or following week, but no dice!
And for the next few weeks he was okay, there would be moments his gums would bother him but he soothed with frozen blueberries (they are his favorite!)
There is still more journey to come, and I know it won't be that pleasant but today made me happy to see and feel that tooth break through. And yes it is sharp, thankfully no issues with nursing yet, so hopefully you will start to see pics of toothy grin from Carl soon.
But for now you get this.
