This has been a good Monday. Probably the highlight is that H and my parents both gave me vouchers for the local spa. I'm hoping to use one of them on Thursday evening. Also H is downstairs making me a birthday cake, and there is Prosecco in the fridge.
And it's a four day week. We're taking L to the zoo for the first time on Friday, and party food shopping in the giant supermarket on the way home.
And, just to make it an even better day, L has just gone to sleep without screaming in my ear at all! I didn't expect a birthday present from the baby as well :-)
I confess that I've only started being good because all dental treatment is free during pregnancy and until the child is a year old. I want L to develop good habits in a way I never did, so I make H go too now. My next appointment is in August and I'll take L so that she can see the treatment room and the equipment.
The dentist is THE WORST. It took everything in me to not cancel my appointment. That has to be the epitome of adulthood, making and keeping regular dental appointments.
I've mentioned on here before that I haven't been to the dentist in almost 8 years right?
I did manage to finally pick out a dentist for us last month because I want to be a good example for G. But I never called them back about making an appointment. I asked H to do it for us and he still hasn't gotten around to it.
I HATE going to the dentist! I don't know why it freaks me out so much.
Happy Birthday purple ! Same day as my LO, who turns 1 today! Today was crazy busy so I'm posting and running, but hopefully I can participate more tomorrow. Happy Monday, everyone!
Happy birthday purple and little veggiemo ! Why do so many people hate the dentist? I'd rather go to the dentist over the doctor any day...
Girl are you crazy?! What do you have to worry about at the doctor's office? There are literally sharp pointy objects in your mouth at the dentist. Worst.
But the dentist is just your mouth! The doctor has access to your entire body. Maybe it just helps that while I may have been uncomfortable sometimes, overall I've had a really positive experience with the dentist. I never felt good about smiling until I had braces and that literally changed life for me.

Happy birthday, little veggiemo! And happy belated birthday, @ purple, because I'm pretty sure it's Tuesday in the UK now.
Also, it's one of my greatest accomplishments that I've gotten H back on a regular dental checkup schedule. It had been years for him when we met. I hate going, but I do. My parents had horrible dental care, and thus horrible teeth, so they scared me into it growing up.

Happy birthday, purple and baby veggiemo! DH is stuck at the hospital so we Facetimed for bed time again. When DD saw DH, she grabbed the phone and kissed it. Could she get any sweeter? I'm nursing her to sleep now, and she keeps stopping and asking "Dada?". Hopefully she can get some daddy time tomorrow...

We braved the shitty weather and picked the first couple lbs of ripe blueberries from the Upick field at my folks' place. T is obsessed. Once he got one in his mouth, he had to have more. Every time he ran out, he started this adorably incessant growl/yodel/hyperventilating noise until we fed him another. On a dental-related note, I need to "break up" with my current dentist, whom I've been seeing since I was 5, because they are out of network for our new insurance. Why does it have to be so hard?

I've been at my dentist since I was 3. It would feel like cheating to go elsewhere!
Happy birthday purple! And happy birthday to your LO, veggiemo!
belle0720 I hadn't been in over 10 years, but I finally went like 4 months or so ago. They filled 4 cavities and extracted my top 2 wisdom teeth. The fillings were NBD, but the extractions were a giant PITA for a week or 2. I was so worried about going at first, but am so glad I finally got it out of the way! And since they schedule your next cleaning at the end of your appointment, I hopefully will stay on top of it now.
michyme123, my mom never had a single cavity until she got pregnant with me. Between her early pregnancy check-up and her post delivery dentist apt. she developed 8 cavities.
Can I just say I go to the dentist religiously every 6 months but my husband Didn't go for like 8 years until last month. That lucky bastard only had one tiny cavity! (Although he did need to make 2 appts since the cleaning took so long). I go all the time and I feel I get a new cavity every time ever since I had kids. I swear they messed up my teeth somehow lol
We see this all the time. Unfortunately good home care isn't the only factor. Sometimes due to developmental factors some people are more prone to cavities. It's not fair.
