Dentist

In May I FINALLY went to the Dentist. I have a fear of new dentists. Once I have been it's not so scary, but going to a new one- yeah it took me 4 years and a REALLY bad tooth ache to finally go! Plus our dental insurance was about to end so it really was a now or never thing. At the time we lived right across the street from a dentist, and I knew the dentists wife. I just kept telling myself that he (the dentist) couldn't be SO bad if he had such a nice wife and cute kids!

So the big day came and Ryan stayed home and watched the kids for me. The dentist and the assistants were so nice! And because my parents are AWESOME and took me to the dentist all the time before I was married, I needed a lot less work then I thought. I thought for sure he was going to tell me I had to have all my teeth pulled, I even had a nightmare about it! I did have to have 3 or 4 fillings though. After I had gone to the dentist once a week for 3 weeks, I decided I should get Kaitlyn's teeth checked too! So for the 4th week in a row, we went to the dentist. (They were really starting to know me by this point!)

For the kids first appointment the dentist, just kinda warms them up to the idea. They get to ride in the chair a couple of times, watch a short video about a dog going to the dentist and then the dentist comes in and checks the teeth. Kaitlyn did very well and Em helped her by riding in the chair with her!

Here's some photo's:



Still a little nervous


This is fun!


They asked for lots of extra rides on the chair and the dentist was very sweet about it!

I think all in all they had a good visit.


About a week later I couldn't sleep all night because of another tooth ache. So off to the dentist again. -At this point I felt like I had seen the Dentist more than my husband! I ended up having one of my wisdom teeth pulled. This was just a few days before I was leaving Wisconsin for a MONTH! And I was supposed be driving the kids and I down to Texas. Luckily for me my mother in law was coming to help anyway. She ended up doing most of the driving, and I was VERY grateful for it!

One of the mornings I was at the dentist Ryan came home for lunch and found us like this! I was pretty worn out!
