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 […]
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 […]
Update
Recovering well from the oral surgery to remove 4 teeth in order to make room for all of my other teeth. Monday is the big day when I get the wires on my braces and we start making steps towards the final outcome. I have four gaping holes in my mouth so I […]
Home from surgery
Dawn asked me to make a brief post letting everyone know that we are home from the oral surgeon and she is doing well. The doctor said the surgery went great and we were out of there in less than an hour. Dawn is now resting with a mouthful of gauze, but she is feeling […]
Rainy Monday

Teeth
Tomorrow I go to the orthodontist to have the brackets put on my teeth. Next Wednesday I go to the oral surgeons to have four teeth extracted. The following Monday I have the wires put on the braces. Just in time to fly to California to visit Brad’s family for a week. So barely a […]
Forest’s Number Four
Forest has added a fourth tooth! He now has three on top and one on the bottom. The teething seems to be getting easier for him as well. Usually just one bad day and then he’s good to go through the rest of the process.
You Know that You’re a Mom of Twins When…
You know you’re the mom of twins under two years old when going to the dentist to have 4 cavities filled puts you to sleep. Seriously, I dozed off for a few moments during a short break in the process. Not sure if the dental assistant realized it or not but she woke […]
