Cutting molars

Sunday morning, the church nursery paged us because Noah had a fever. He had been acting fine all morning so I was really surprised. We took him home and gave him some medicine and let him sleep it off. When he woke up, he started acting like his (almost) normal self.

Yesterday afternoon when we got home from work, I noticed that Noah was really irritable and whiny. Then all of a sudden, he just burst into tears and said his mouth was hurting. I peeked in and saw that his back molars were half way cut through his little gums! It’s been so long since he cut any teeth that I felt like I didn’t know what to do at first! :)

We gave him some more medicine before bed last night, but he still woke up around 9pm crying about his mouth. So Brad and I made the decision to let him sleep in our bed last night (for the very first time EVER) because he would only stop crying if I was cuddling him. Well now I know why we’ve never let him sleep with us before. We all slept terribly. Noah and I both like to move around in our sleep and we kept waking each other up all.night.long. AND at 5:15am this morning, I open my eyes to see Noah’s little face 2 inches from my face saying, “Mommy, where’s the remote? I wanna watch cartoons!”

Look at those little red bags under his eyes! Hopefully we will all get some decent sleep tonight and those molars will pop through soon!
