Dimpy's Blog

Inspired by others, I've started this blog to make a record of the pregnancy and birth of my son, Harry, and to share the experiences with anyone interested. Earlier entries are further down the page, so start at the bottom.

And then there were two...

No sooner had his first little gnasher made an appearance, when another one decided it was time to show it's face.

He now has two mandibular incisors (the ones right at the front on the bottom)!!

The nice thing is, Harry doesn't seem to have suffered with his teeth - yet. He just drooled a bit more than usual and had flushed cheeks. There was no screaming, no hysterics.

He did pass a hard poo which brought tears to his eyes though. You probably didn't want to know that...

Harry's first tooth


It had to happen sooner or later - Harry has been teething for quite a while now, with bright red glowing cheeks and a penchant for chewing anything within reach.

The other day, as Harry was sucking lazily on my finger (something I often put up with as it calms him down), I felt a sudden, sharp, hardness. Wriggling my finger loose, I felt around his gums and, sure enough, right at the front on the bottom, I could feel what seemed to be the ridge of a tooth, albeit one that hadn't broken through the gum yet.

There's a bit of grey colouration to that area of gum so perhaps Harry's first tooth isn't too far away from making an appearance.

I wonder what Harry will make of it...
