Success!

Yesterday Midget had new x-rays of his hip taken. It was 90% out of socket so it was definitely time to fix it. Luckily, today was that day.

The 3 hour surgery went fabulous and the surgeon was very pleased with how it went. They got it all fixed up and it looks great on the x-rays! Midget will be in a cast for 6 weeks but so far is doing tremendously well (part in thanks to the epidural *giggle*).

Growing up is hard to do...

...especially for this Mama!

Last month Midget went in for his 6 month dental check up. Usually the dentist takes a quick gander inside his mouth and sends us on our way. This check up was not quite that easy.

The dentist did a thorough inspection of Midget's mouth. Not only did he find 6 year molars already coming in but he found 5 loose teeth. Yep you read that right... FIVE! The dentist decided to take some x-rays and found some permanent teeth trying to come in which explained the loose teeth and the large gap between 2 of them.

Most kids would probably just get to wait for their teeth to fall out on their own but I was too worried about Midget choking on a tooth if that happened that I questioned the dentist on it. He decided it was best if they were extracted. It took a couple of weeks but we finally got Midget on the schedule and he had the teeth removed last Thursday afternoon.

I think Mommy was more worked up and scared about this than Midget was. At first he wasn't very keen on the gas mask being on his face and tried to keep knocking it off. But once the gas started making him calm down.... the giggles ensued! *snort* (I just had to snap a quick photo but all I had was my camera phone. Bad Mommy not coming prepared!)

Once they numbed him up, the teeth were out within minutes. I couldn't believe how quick it went. Of course, I had to keep Midget's arms pinned down but he did manage to get away from me a couple of times and smack the doc's hands away. *snort* But he was quite the trooper and did awesome! I wished I could have given him some ice cream as a treat for doing so well but the diet won't allow it. *pout*

I never loved a crooked grin more than I did his... but I think I love his half gummy grin just as much!

Crazy busy!

And it's not going to slow down for a while!

First off, we found out a few weeks ago that Itty Bitty is a boy. Everyone is so beyond excited to have another boy join the family! He's quite the little wiggle worm and acrobat! I swear he only sleeps 2 hours a day and the rest of the time he's just in there doing his tricks. I have a feeling I'm going to have my hands really full with this one! *giggle*

We are awaiting the completion of our house. Yep that's right! Mr Indy bought a house and we should be moving in within the next 4 weeks. We're so excited but the packing and cleaning to move out of our apartments is stressing us all out! *LOL*

Then in September Midget has to have hip surgery. After about a week (give or take a few days) in the hospital, he'll come home in a cast and spend about 6 weeks that way. The cast will come off just a couple of weeks before my due date. But the upside is the surgeon says doing the surgery now is better and he shouldn't have to have it again in the future. *grin*

We obviously have a lot going on before the holidays. It will all be worth it in the end! I'm sure of it! (Or at least I'm tricking myself into believing it so I don't go nuts. *snort*)
