First tooth!

I think it's finally happening... that all-important First Tooth is making itself known! At the moment it looks a bit like a pimple ready to burst (pardon the graphic description), but I think in the next day or two we will know for sure!

All of the signs have been pointing in this direction: widening gums, slight temperature increase (emphasis on slight: she went from 37.2*C to 37.4* the other night), unusual crying bouts... but none of the drooling or red cheeks we were thinking would be there... maybe they're yet to come.

I haven't managed to get a photo (yet), however I did manage to take one of her tonight when she was so sleepy she was literally falling asleep while feeding herself.




Unfortunately this was at about 19:00 and ended up being a power nap... but thankfully by 22:00 she crashed for good!

  2. Awww! Poor baby. She looks so sleepy and tired on that picture. It’s normal for every child to suffer from a fever during the developing of their first tooth. But regardless of her condition, she’s still one of the most adorable babies I’ve ever seen. You are so blessed to have her in your life. Thanks for sharing that, Jennifer! All the best to you and your family!

  3. There are a lot of possible signs to look out for when expecting the first tooth to make its appearance, and I think those are spot on. Anyway, I hope she was able to cope with the teething that usually follows. Thanks for sharing this with us, Jennifer. Have a great day!
