Well hi there! It's been a while since my last post but obviously nothing is really happening since I still have braces on. A few things that have happened over the past few months:
I told my ortho and he didn't seem too worried about it. As he is probably expecting my braces to be on more than a year anyway.
I coincidentally was pregnant the week I got my braces on. Didn't find out until about 3 weeks later, but still. Crazy, right? Not planned at all.
Such is life. But boy, it is fun being a pregnant women with braces. Not. My braces don't really affect my eating anymore though, unless I get them tightened- like today. Ouch. The band is so wide & tight the assistant could hardly get the rubber band around them.
Along with regular bands- I also had some springs put on my teeth today to eliminate the triangle gap between some of my top & bottom teeth. Here's a today photo:
Can't really see the springs but they are wrapped basically all around the front top teeth wire and a couple front bottom teeth. He shaved them down to be more square so they'll actually fit together- and not triangle. lol How are my teeth even triangular? Doesn't make sense to me. Whatevs. I just hope my baby doesn't inherit my shitty teeth.
I try to not think about having a newborn paired with jaw surgery because I know it will be a challenge- but I think with help I can do it. I'm hoping to wait until the baby is at least 6-8 months old. I won't be able to get time off until then anyway. lol
So I'm only 14 weeks along with the pregnancy. Due in the beginning of July. A few weeks away from finding out the gender. Just a lot going on right now.
That's all! Maybe I'll update again in a month or so. :P
- None of my braces have fallen off. (Except today at the ortho when the assistant accidentally PULLED one off. I loled.)
- I have regular monthly appointments now. (Thank goodness)
- And... I'm PREGNANT.

Congrats on the pregnancy! So many exciting things happening all at once. You are so strong to deal with it all, it will be a challenge for sure but you will be so happy in the end :) I Don't know how to follow you, I dont see a button.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks. I hope to be strong enough. And hopefully my wallet will also be strong enough to handle it all. Not cheap. But thanks for the words of encouragement!
DeleteAnd I was struggling to find the friend gadget- but I think I figured it out finally! It's under my 'about me' section now. :)
