Surprise...teeth

So for the past two weeks Gary and I have been baffled. Natalie went from sleeping through the night to getting up at least once a night and often more (one night four times).  She also began to drool about three weeks ago which was new for her.  I believe when she started to drool I even joking said maybe she teething.  But I laughed and thought what three month old gets teeth already.  I googled it of course and it said some infants will get teeth as early as three months but it is usually more like six months so we just wrote off the drooling.  Then last weekend she "found" her thumb.  Ever since she was born she would "eat" her hand but it suddenly became constant  and she also started to suck just her thumb.  Here are a few pics from this week (it was hard to get a picture without her hand in her mouth).

 Than on Thursday when Gary got home he asked me what happened to Nat's hand.  I had not even noticed it.  Sorry kind of hard to see but she had scratch marks all over the back of her thumb.

We felt all around her mouth not knowing what else the marks could be from. Ta-dah a tooth was coming in. Her bottom right front tooth- mystery solved. My three month old is cutting teeth. I think the bottom front left will soon pierce her gums as well. Poor Natalie. She is so young that she can't really hold a teething ring herself.  So this is how we are spending a good portion of our day.

As soon as we can snap a picture of the tooth we will. It's a struggle right now for us even to get a glimpse of it.  And these teeth seem to be making her even more ready for solid foods!!!  Two more weeks, I can't wait.  And as for Gary and I, well, we are just praying once the two teeth are in she goes back to sleeping through the night.  Time will tell.
