Teeth

I get it now. I've always heard mothers say how hard teething can be. I had no idea. Never thought it could be such an endurance run. The teeth just pop up overnight and the baby flashes that cute smile with those first tiny pearly whites...right? I got a call at work from the babysitter TWO weeks ago. She thought Lauren was getting her first tooth. I was totally pumped. When I picked up Lauren that night, I could feel it right under her gums. The next day, I could not only see the tooth, but I saw the little guy next door trying to push through too. I'm told that two at the same time is a bargain deal (two for the pain of one). The last two weeks have been a roller coaster ride. (And no, the teeth haven't moved beyond coming through the gums). The last two days have been especially clingy, fussy, and restless. I'm afraid our two teeth might have a couple of other buddies trying to join the ranks...
