We've had a visitor

And a not so welcome visitor at that. Because you see, she is the reason for Baby Gabe's (and mommy's) sleepless nights. But alas, she has finally graced our home with her presence...

She is the Tooth Fairy

Yesterday when I picked Gabe up from daycare, his teacher excitedly proclaimed to me that Gabe has a tooth coming in. I'm not sure how "exciting" it really is. I mean yes, it's neat to be able to say "my baby has a tooth". Especially when other babies his age have already started the tooth adventure; but this new appendage has reeked way too much havoc on our household in the last few days! We finally get Gabe over that yucky URI and he has some great nights, and then this fair lass decides to make a visit. Well, I guess that explains the 2am playtime from three nights ago! Last night he woke up and cried out plenty, but thankfully he was able to soothe himself back to dream land each time. But don't think it didn't wake me up too! And Daddy says he woke up too but I don't know. He sure does snore a lot when he is "awake"?!? The new little pearl isn't quite visible yet - it hasn't "erupted". But you can feel it trying to poke through his gum. Wish us luck for the next few days? Weeks? However long this madness lasts...
