Bursting with pride

2008-04-16 / 3:52 p.m.

I am absoloopy bursting with pride for my little girl right now. She is so brave and so sweet that it almost makes me forget the days when I want to give her away!

Today was the day for her to get her tooth pulled. After weeks of watching it turn grey, the dentist wanted to get it out. He was nervous of possible infection spreading to the two other teeth she injured. We went in, and she did SO well. The dentist was really impressed with how well she sat for the pulling. He said she never flinched at the shots, didn't cry and did not need the laughing gas. He was able to get the tooth out fairly quickly and in one piece. He also said that the other two teeth are tightening up and are looking pretty good. I was so relieved. I am glad the hard part is over. Now we wait for 3-4 weeks and decide where to go from there. I had myself worked up so much last night that I was crying. I just didn't want her to have to have the tooth pulled. She's so little - it just doesn't seem right. Then, I start thinking logically and remind myself that it's just a tooth - a baby tooth at that!

She got to pick out two toys for being such a good patient. She picked a bracelet and a hand mirror. I was kind of surprised that she picked the mirror because she got the same thing on a previous visit. When we got to the car, she said, "Mommy, I got the mirror so I can give it to sister. So we both have a mirror." Now tell me that is not the sweetest thing you have ever heard! We were talking about how nice the dentist was to give her two toys, a sticker and a balloon. We talked about sending them a thank you note for taking such good care of her and she said, "I think Jesus would be proud of Dr. Joe for taking good care of me." PEOPLE! I totally started to cry. She is just being so super cute and sweet! She doesn't seemed phased by the fact that she got 3 shots yesterday at her pediatrician's office and a tooth pulled today! She is amazing.

So, I'm hormonal, late and startig to worry that I might be knocked up if I don't start soon. I've been having a lot of symptoms that could be either early pregnancy or getting ready to start. I'm getting a tiny bit nervous, but trying not to work myself up. I did take a test, but that pretty much means nothing when dealing with my hormones. Then, this morning, while I was waiting for Bg1 in the dentist, I started getting the worst cramps ever and thought, okay - I'm going to start. And still, nothing. Come on stupid body! I hate not knowing, sitting around thinking I might be pregnant, etc. Just start already!

Bg2's 2nd bday party is this weekend and I am still scrambling to get things done. Almost everyone we invited is coming, which is kind of scary. Thankfully we agreed to order food, so that is one less thing to worry about. I can't believe she is two already. She still seems like such a baby.

I feel like I have a million things to get done and not enough days to do it.
