updates
Crib situation: It took just about a week but things are going well now. The boys do really well at bedtime, even though Logan sometimes crawls into bed with Forest, it is super sweet. Like all previous bed related transitions, we’ve had to learn to be highly selective about what brings us into [...]
Braces – 2 months
It’s been 9 weeks since I had the braces put on and my “fangs” are already gone. I saw my parents about two weeks after I got them back in May and my mom asked if I was able to fit these through my teeth yet. I thought that was a silly question [...]
Braces update
Monday morning I had my first appointment since having the braces put on five weeks ago. I have to be honest, I have no idea what exactly they did. I know that it involved taking off the rubber bands on most of the front teeth and instead using long, thin wires wrapped around [...]
Braces, week 3
On week three of having braces I find myself again with sores inside of my mouth. Out comes the dental wax to be smooshed around the offending brackets and wires. Orabase becomes my daily companion so that I can make it through the night and eat like normal. I had thought that [...]
Bonus
I just painted my nails. This is huge. I have never had nails long enough to paint, except for when they were fake nails. But these are MY nails. And they are pretty! This is one unexpected but greatly appreciated bonus of having braces.
Braces – Week One
I thought I’d take some time to fill in on how things are going with the braces. As I mentioned previously (I think) the removal of the four teeth took a lot more of a toll on me then I had expected. The pain lasted for several days, then there was pain in [...]
New with Me
I officially have braces now. It was a three week process to get them on but it is now complete.
I’m working on a mac computer now. First time for me to use one and so far so good. I’ve been using a laptop for the past few years so having a [...]
Rainy Monday
Friday and Saturday I spent complaining about the discomfort from the braces. By Sunday it felt almost normal and today it’s almost like it’s always been this way. Almost. In two days I’m going to have four teeth extracted to prepare for a week of cute pictures of cute babies. I’m [...]
I’m Going to Miss Eating
I have the braces on, just not the wires yet. Eating sucks. It’s very distracting having all of this metal in my mouth. I hadn’t thought about that as an issue. But it’s a big one. Starting to have spots on the inside of my lips rubbed by the metal. [...]
