Finally at 4:30AM, Iszak finally fell asleep to be woken up another 4 hours later. Just to head out to Village Inn for breakfast to celebrate my dad's birthday. I'm sorry Iszak! We for sure won't be doing that again, because being rudely woken up for such an interesting hour.. is not one of my #1 choices of fun.
Iszak and I went back home to hopefully catch some more zzzz's, which didn't happen.. I just couldn't figure out why Iszak wasn't being his usual cooperative self, but the runny nose and drool increased. The light came on in my head to check Iszak's mouth for teeth, first I wash my hands, then glide my finger along the bottom gums to feel definite bumps. The whole time, Iszak is pushing his tongue over his gums to block my curiosity. I check a 2nd time to feel something sharp, so I maneuvered around Iszak's tongue to see this time. Indeed, I did spot a little white poking through the lower gums in the center. The left side tooth(incisor) has been confirmed to be coming in first. I was excited for a split moment, then it was followed by darn.. my little baby is growing up too fast!
I waited for Chris to come home to share the news, which was hard for me all day. I didn't want to ruin it for Chris via a text message.
Hopefully Iszak decides to get tired soon, as he's rolling around on the floor at my feet and being as talkative as ever. It's now 12:35 AM and mommy needs to get some decent sleep this morning.
Here's a guideline for the appearance of baby teeth:

Okay, so it's official. Having kids = no sleep, ever again. :) I hope you get some sleep soon! I can't believe he is getting teath already. Where has the time gone??
I'm sorry that you are going through teething in a rough way! Have you heard the trick to wet a corner of a washcloth and stick it in the freezer? Babies love to suck on it. It feels so good on their gums. I like doing that so I don't give Isaac too much Tylenol. Tylenol does help, though. Homeopathic teething tablets don't work (according to my pediatrician and my experience).
Oh poor baby. I love how you washed your hand before sticking in his mouth. Definately a first time parent. :)

Definitely! There's been more times that I haven't washed my hands, such as when Chris allows Iszak to play with things that could be a choking hazard that I have to go dig for them. Or Iszak decides to eat too many snacks at once and starts choking from the fist full of Gerber Puffs.
