3 months post partum

Well life is almost relatively back to normal. As much as it's gonna get with a 3-month old baby.

I had to go back to work when babe was only 9-weeks old. That sucked. Plus work has been relentlessly stressing me out and being crazy busy. It's finally semi-calmed down. And I'm getting a raise/promotion! So that's good news.

Amongst the chaos I'm still handling my braces. Still flossing/rinsing diligently every night. I always find time for it. It only takes a few min! I don't mind the braces at all anymore... I've had them for almost a year! It's time for a new phase of this jaw development.

I got another set of surgery molds sent to the surgeon in September and he said he wanted the teeth on the bottom a little closer together- so it works out for my schedule.

Now my October appointment today he took an x-ray to make sure there was enough space for the surgeon to cut into my jawline... whaaattt?! Kind of freaking out.

And he's looking at two more appointments so that'll land my surgery around end of January/beginning of February. My mom wants it to the be the week after her birthday haha. I told her I'd work on it.

I know I will have a ton of mommy guilt from this experience. Breastfeeding has been hard and pumping is actually a ton harder and much more frustrating... but I'm going to be very sad to give it up. I'm not sure if I can still pump (and dump) through the painful recovery portion. If I could I would.

Maybe write more later. So busy. Finishing up pumping right now at work then off to fetch the little one from daycare! I miss/love her! Here's photo of her adorableness!

She's my everything!

Here are some compare/contrast photos.

I'm yellin' timber...

Honestly... every time I CROSS-OFF an appointment. I add another one. This is getting a little out of control. I thought everything went pretty well on Thursday, but then the resident called me on Friday night to say that we need to RE-DO my upper molds. Sigh. He said that he has NEVER had this happen before and no one really knows what happened? Whatevs. He was SUPER apologetic and says it'll only take a few min. I talked to him last night and he gave me his personal cellphone number and is having me call him when I get there so he can do it right away. He's really a nice guy. I can't be too mad because he's being super nice about it. Even saying I can park in the free lot since it's $5 usually to park in Oakland. Woot. I'm just thankful I can just pop over after work. I know some people travel super far for jaw surgery. Anyway here's my (hopefully final) updated appt schedule. February 20th- Regular cleaning (with my regs dentist) March 4th- Regul...

Day 6

My set-up at my mom's. Vaporizer, for the win! This water bottle also has been amazing! So glad I got that and the jaw bra beforehand. They have both been lifesavers!  My parents and bff gave me the same get well card. Are they trying to tell me something? haha It was amusing. Yesterday was a great day! We had a full house at my mom's. My Uncle even dropped by.. even though it was just to have my dad help him buy movies off of his iPad, lol. My dad made me breakfast and lunch and my sister made me a banana-pineapple smoothie. It was bomb! I wish it weren't so cold or else I could go for more walks but it was a good day yesterday. Jon and the peanut came over, too and we had a ton of fun! I painted my nails rainbow (because I'm awesome) and Uncle Lou Lou played with Millie a lot. Driving in her favorite car! Getting fed by daddy. I miss feeding my baby girl. ;(  I had pureed spaghetti and meatballs for dinner! It's not much to look at, but oh man...

Today!!!

T-4 hours until surgery time! Hubby is driving us to the hospital as we speak! He's a trooper. 4 a.m. Amelia was fit to be tied last night. She was screaming bloody murder while jonny was holding her. It's like she knew I was leaving. Would only calm down with me. So sleep hardly happened last night. I probably got about 4 good hours. Not ideal but what are you gonna do? Especially whenever I had to wake up at 3:15, lol. Okay I think hubby needs help figuring out what garage we're heading to... so this is the last post on this side of things! See ya on the other side! Not as nervous as I thought, but I'm sure there's still a ton of time for that! ;) The photo is me and a friend's newborn. Love him.
