All I Want Is My Two Front Teeth... Nooooooo!!!!!!

Well, the doctor confirmed what we were afraid of. Spencer is teething. Less than two months and his bottom gums are slightly swollen (though you can see teeth-like impressions in the gums of both). Linh had talked with her friend Ana a week ago and comparing notes about their babies and Ana suggested the Spencer may be teething based on the symptoms. Drooling. Crying not related to feeding or diaper changing. Hands going towards the ear. So that break we thought we might get (Spencer adjusting and crying less and getting more sleep) just overlapped with teething, which is what most people warn us about. Oh, well. The doctor gave us permission to use Oraljel so hopefully that helps. And if the teeth don't come for months, it could be a long teething period. Poor Spencer.
