I had to go to the dentist yesterday for my 6-month check up and cleaning. I have to admit I was nervous because the last 2 times I went I was pregnant so they couldn't x ray me and I've heard that being pregnant & breastfeeding can really mess your teeth up. Drum roll please! I have never received such a good report! The dental hygienist even commented on how nice it was to floss someone whose gums didn't bleed! They couldn't even tell me what to do to improve! That's a load off! I went last May and had just found out I was pregnant and the dental hygienist gave me good advice: Brush and floss like crazy! Apparently one little piece of tartar can cause all sorts of problems in a pregnant lady's mouth! So I did as she suggested and I passed their test with flying colors. Hooray for me!
Joe was in the doghouse for a bit yesterday. I had my dentist appointment set for 3:20 and he had known that for weeks. We had even discussed the fact that he had the time written down wrong on his calendar at work; 3:30 is what he wrote down. That wouldn't be any big deal though because he was planning to be home by 2:45 giving me plenty of time to make it to my dentist in Plano. I call his cell at 2:48 and he was just then signing off of his computer to leave! I snatched Hana out of her swing and threw her in her car seat, grabbed the diaper bag and left. The whole time I'm wondering if she'll be good in her car seat while I'm having my teeth cleaned. I knew she probably would be, but wouldn't that suck if she started crying and wanting out while I'm hoisted practically upside down in that dental chair? I was also concerned that I had her in a white onesie with a green bib and she was in her green car seat. They'll think she's a boy! Then I remembered I had her pink and white "Hana" bib in the diaper bag. Whew! Can't have anyone thinking she's a boy! (It cracks me up because I never understood that until I became a mother! Everyone in the world must know that she is a girl at first glance!) Anyhow, Joe redeemed himself as he always does and beat me to the dentist office to take Hana. She had fallen asleep on our way, I hoped she would wake up a bit confused being in the same car but now Daddy's driving. She didn't though. She was still asleep in her car seat when I got home.
(I was impressed that Joe had done my little trick of just leaving her in it and letting her sleep. He usually tries to take her out and put her in her crib.) That means she probably would've been just fine and more than likely would've slept through my appointment. Although those eerie dental sounds may have woke her up!
So today is laundry day. I have to get it all done so we have clothes to bring to the Lake for ZoneFest. I'm pretty sure we'll be heading down Friday. I think Joe's going to take my car to work & park it in the parking garage and I'm going to pick him up in the Explorer when he gets off and we'll head that way. We'll just leave my car in the garage for the weekend. His work is practically halfway to the Lake so this'll save us a lot of time! Today is also bath day for Hana. She's starting to smell like a foot. I don't like my baby to smell like anything other than Baby Magic! I'll try to get a pic or 2 of her in the tub, or in our case the sink!
I better go, I hear her sucking her thumb really hard & that usually means she's hungry! I'll be back!!!
