teething

so i'm starting to partake in the suffering of a baby getting a tooth. that's right, kennedi has 1 tooth below the surface. she's been doing great at night, not waking up until the morning to eat, and if she does wake in the night, she says a couple baby words and then falls back to sleep. well, not last night. ben and i had just fallen asleep and then 30 minutes later (i thought it was like 1 in the morning) she woke up crying. i went in to check on her, and she was fine, although almost rolled over to her back, so i left her and went back to bed. that same thing happened every hour until 2am. then she slept for about 2 1/2 hours and then did it again until she woke up for good at 7:30am. let's just say it was a flashback to days gone by when she was a newborn. when she woke up i felt her bottom gums in the front and one little nub of a tooth is below the surface. so, i dosed her up with tylenol, and she was fine.
the thing i love about our community is i know that if i'm up at any random time in the night, i have about 3 other moms who i know, if i had a question, i could text them and they'd respond within minutes to answer my question because they're up with their kid too. it's pretty sweet.

well, off to nap while my babe is napping.
hooray for baby teeth.
