Teeth update

Emma went eight and half months without any teeth. In the past three and half weeks, she has gotten six! I know I'm a first-time mom, but that seems like a lot! For the most part, she is handling it very well, but I think the pain is starting to get to her. I feel so bad for her. I am hoping they will come in fast and all the pain will be gone.

Yesterday, she was a little off. As I was trying to calm her last night, it made me realize how truly fortunate we are to have such a great baby! I mean, days like yesterday are so rare that I felt anxious and upset. Some parents have more of those challenging days than good days. I know we are truly blessed.

This morning she was in a pretty good mood overall. She acted a little cranky, but played well while I got ready. I'm single-parenting-it again for the next few days.

I will try to get some pictures of those teeth. This is the order they came in:

• Top righthand side (Debbie pointed out her first tooth; it was the first weekend of my two-week sickness)
• Next was the middle bottom tooth (my mom pointed out this one!)
• Followed the next day by the top lefthand side tooth
• Then the second bottom middle tooth
• Then the top middle
• And another bottom tooth on her right side
