Teeth

Have you ever heard of a baby being born with teeth? Well, here are the two sure-fire ways to end up with a newborn with two little teeth:

1. Your dad was born with teeth.
2. Minutes before you deliver say, "Wouldn't it be funny if this baby was born with teeth like dad!"

Newborn Gove and his teeth



Poor little Gove. His little teeth hurt him so much! I was told to avoid touching and wiggling the teeth because they were loose and we didn't want them to fall out and choke him. I was so worried about them falling out that I prayed and prayed that their roots would grow strong so his teeth wouldn't choke him. Well, the roots grew strong, but the teeth deteriorated and became sharp little shark teeth that cut holes under his tongue and were extremely painful. It was a very sad day when I had to hold my little 2 month-old baby while the dentist shot novicaine into his gums and pulled his little teeth. The dentist was very surprised at the root size. He said that generally the roots are tiny. Gove's roots were thick and long and, as he put it, "unusual." Oops, sorry Gove, I prayed them that way! Anyway, Gove is missing his two bottom teeth, but is a happier person because of it. Here's hoping I don't have any more toothy babies.
