Tough Noelle
So it has been brought to our attention that our little 3 month old (adjusted age: age according to my due date, only 1 month old) is teething. I did not think this was possible so early. One day we noticed that her gums were bleeding and she was drooling more than normal. Her sleeping schedule was off and when she would eat she would cry more than usual. We called her doctor and he said that is was very rare, especially for a preemie but that it was possible. He told us to give her some Tylenol. Well a few days went by and I still didn't believe it until I saw the two little white spots on her bottom gums which were her teeth coming on through. When we realized we could give her tylenol we were really grateful and it helped so so much. She is still on oxygen and she is teething and technically she is only one month old. We have a tough little girl!

WOW, Hallie still doesn't even have any yet! That is fast, poor baby girl!! Gotta love tylenol!
That is awesome and amazing. Teething is the pits. You need to invest in some of those water chewing toys that you can put in the fridge then let her chew on it. They really help! I am glad that she is doing so well, and I am thinking about you and your family all the time.
Oh my goodness! :-D My oldest sister didn't teeth till she was around 1! :o) So good to hear Noelle is doing great, sorry about her poor little mouth! she is such a cutie! :o) Love you guys!
Wow! Let the teething begin! Ben's still drooling at 17 months while his teething are coming in (i don't think he started till 5 or6 months). The drool just don't stop! Enjoy (and remember in the coming months, because it will get crazy, that wearing a bib all day will save you from changing her shirt a million times a day!).
