Home!

I don't think I've ever missed Wenatchee more than I did the last week. I'm so glad to finally be home!!

Course.... this now makes for an interesting 5 weeks. I've noticed that Midget seems to sweat like a pig in his cast. Poor kid tends to be dripping wet up and down his back whether he's laying on it or not. *sigh* Hopefully we'll be able to figure something out to help combat that or his cast is going to be really gross, really fast!

I have been getting some smirks out of him the past couple of days. Now if I could just get a full gummy grin and a giggle I'd know he's back to his old self for sure! My goal is to get them by the end of this week! *smirk*

So while we were gone, Mr Indy got his friend Fred over here to help finish putting some shelving up in the garage. Mr Indy wanted a little pantry type shelving unit next to the door and they finished it on Sunday except.... it's not so little. This thing is HUGE and I know it will not be full of food! (But at least now I have somewhere to unpack the games and puzzles. *snort*)

Hmmmm..... what else is going on that I can talk about?

I have been feeling fairly well the last few weeks as long as the heartburn stays away (which it doesn't). Itty Bitty is still swimming around in there but I swear I don't know how he could be. I feel huge and can't imagine there being a whole lot of room left in there. *giggle* I have to go set up my next OB appointment and another ultrasound while I'm out running errands today. *grin* I can't believe I'm almost to weekly appointments... just 2 more before that begins. My due date feels so close yet so far away with everything else going on. *sigh*

Ok so I should probably try to get a few more hours of sleep if I can (not that I think I will). Hopefully the Zac Brown Band will stay out of my head long enough to get another hour or so. *yawn*

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!
