I know my blog has been really boring lately, I meant to write things in the last couple of days, but I guess I never got around to it.

Sophia is doing well. Her sleep has been incredible, except that now she is practicing sitting up by herself and that wakes her up at night a lot. She has been doing that for a while, but for some reason decided that it would be really fun to do it in the middle of the night. Oh well, it’s kind of cute to watch her in the monitor while she practices in her crib.

I had a dentist appointment last week and again it was not fun. Now both sides of my teeth hurt and I can’t eat properly. I’m hoping that the pain will go away soon, I like food too much not to eat it. Brad has an appointment in the next couple of days and I do not envy him at all. His is just a cleaning though, I hope that he doesn’t have any cavities, those are expensive to fix.

Tonight we’re going over to a friends house for dinner. Brad has never met them, but I know the girl from high school. She is the one that Sophia had her first play date with, well not her her daughter. They were so cute together, too bad I didn’t get any pictures of the girls. Next time I will.

So, everyone is doing well and I will try to keep this thing updated more often. Have a good day.

Having fun with grandpa

Today I had my dreaded dentist appointment. I have nothing against the dentist, it’s just that every time that I go in there I get bad news. I was born with genetically bad teeth, so rarely is there anything positive to report from such a visit. I went in for a regular check up and my annual teeth cleaning. Well, it was more like my first teeth cleaning in 2 years, but at least I got it done. When I was pregnant with Sophie I got really sore and bleeding gums. I tried getting in to see a dentist, but no dentist wanted to take me on as a patient; apparently I had to have an initial visit before they would even do a cleaning, but the visit included x-ray which I couldn’t have due to pregnancy. I thought that was kind of dumb, but that’s just how they did it there. When I told the dental hygienist this, she simply shook her head. Pregnancy is already so hard on your teeth that it seems odd not to do something about it. Apparently I had gingivitis problems that caused gum inflammation. Great, just what I wanted. She cleaned my teeth really well and made some follow up appointments to get my cavities fixed. You’re going to love this…I have 9 cavities!!! Yikes, I guess that’s what happens to people with bad teeth. On top of all of that, I have to get 4 crowns on my front teeth because they are so ground down from my nightly teeth-grinding, that they are no longer protecting my molars from being destroyed.

The 4 crowns are considered a cosmetic procedure and hence are not covered by dental. Each crown is about $800.00, so it’s a lot of money. I guess I will have to wait a while to get that done. I really hope that Sophia gets Brad’s teeth. The guy hasn’t been to a dentist in 7 years and I bet all his teeth are doing better then mine.

Well that is it, that was my eventful morning. My gums and teeth are hurting really bad after that cleaning, I hope I can get all this dental work done before we have another baby. If I find some money for it…..

No picture today, I don’t fell like uploading one. Have a good afternoon…
