Teething??!!

It would appear that Claire has started teething! I was not expecting this just yet. Tuesday night she started howling for no apparent reason. I had to nurse her to get her to snap out of it. Tim and I tried to get a look at her gums with a flashlight but she was too squirmy and thought we were playing a fun game. She got really upset again last night so we got out the teething gel. She loved it! She sucked on my finger like it was a lollipop! I think I managed to get some on her gums and she immediately calmed down. Her gums do look a bit white and I did notice some increased drooling before the howling. I read that teething may start weeks or even months before the teeth appear. My poor little girl! It is hard to see her experiencing so much discomfort. It didn't take much to calm her down last night, though, once we decided that it had to be teething and treated it as such. I'll let y'all know if I see any teeth!
