First Tooth

On September 14th, Teague got his very first tooth!! Yay Teague!!:) It is his bottom right, front tooth and it is so cute!! But, let me just tell you----it was miserable for all of us. A few days before his tooth broke through, he started getting a runny nose and had a fever. Then, he progressively got more and more cranky through out the day. He just wasn't content and even holding him didn't seem to make things better. I looked and felt in his mouth and nothing was there so I thought that maybe he was just getting a cold or the flu. The next day, I didn't feel good at all and had no energy. So, I thought for sure we had both gotten some bug. Again, it was a long day with him crying, diarrhea, throwing up, fever again, not eathing and no sleep. I was giving him Ibuprofen and Tylenol around the clock, as well as trying teething tablets, orajel, popsicles, cold wash cloths, and anything else I could think of for the poor little guy. I felt so bad for him because I couldn't help him out. The next day, I felt and looked in his mouth again, and there was a sharp little nubbin!! The next few days he was hurting and fussy, but each day he progressively got feeling better. Now he is back to our happy little boy. Until the next one decides to come, I guess!!:)
