teeth....

camden has started the oh so fun adventure of cutting his first teeth...and i am in for a long ride still being that i can't even feel or see where they are yet...he is biting everything though....and drooling which isn't like him...

last night right around bed time our little one started to gush out the tears...you know something is bothering him when consoling becomes difficult and he breathes in just to let out a little tiny scream of a cry...daddy tried and tried to calm baby down to no avail...with each new breath came another baby size wail and daddy was feeling pretty helpless.... so mommy took over because the pit of her stomach wouldn't let her just sit by and watch....i held my tiny baby while his body arched in pain and we rocked while we waited for the teething tablets to dissolve....finally the cries came a little less frequently until his stiff little body gave in to the relief of life without pain....but with every couple of breaths his breath would catch just a little, while he tried to calm himself...and so the end of the crying came for a few minutes and i don't know which was worse....the actual cries or the getting over them....i just stared at my little guy while he tried to soothe himself in my arms and there really is no more horrible a feeling than having to watch a tiny body twist in pain...but we got through it...mommy, daddy and baby....at least this time we did...
