3 days away!!

I never thought I'd get through this long list of appts...

February 20th- Regular cleaning (with my regs dentist)
March 4th- Regular ortho appt
March 6th- Pre-Op appt with surgeon
March 10th- 2nd surgeon appt
March 14th- Ob/gyn
March 17th AM- Ortho
March 17th PM- Cavity filling
March 18th- Ortho
March 22nd- Eye doctor's appointment
March 24th- JAW SURGERY

But here we are.

Hospital called this morning to verify that I will need to report to the hospital at 5 a.m. for my 7:30 a.m. surgery time. 

DEEP BREATHS. I should have known my nerves would be this bad. Should have asked the surgeon for some anxiety meds, but I didn't want another reason to stop breastfeeding, lol.

Yes, I'm really nervous. Thankfully I'm going to be sooo super busy this weekend. My mom's coming over tonight to make sure I have everything packed that I need and take some supplies to her house where I will be staying for a few days.

Saturday I have an eye doctor appointment and a night out with the girls. Hibachi dinner! I can't wait!

Sunday is my father-in-law's bday celebration up north. Hopefully be home early so everyone gets a good night's rest (haha, right).

Then my mom will be over to take over Amelia duty around 4 a.m.! I'm sure it won't take us an hour to get there (probably like 30 min, lol), but I'm super early girl. Always. Unfortunately that means more time to be nervous. Ugh. I'll have my hubby there so hopefully he can talk me down, but that's unlikely. The lady from the hospital was SO NICE on the phone and told me that they try to do everything they can to make their jaw surgery patients at comfortable as possible including private rooms where Jonny could stay. So I'm hoping that happens.

I need to prepare everything for Amelia, too. Just bottles, but I know my mom can handle it. Just need to make sure she knows where everything is in my house for Monday/Tuesday, lol.

I'll leave you with a cutie pie pic! :) 3 more days!!!!!

1 YEAR POST OP

Well HEY! Nothing much has been happening with my mouth lately (WHICH IS GREAT!) so that's why I haven't updated or anything. But TODAY marks ONE YEAR since my jaw was broken in two places! Can't believe that I went though with it. It was honestly the best medical decision of my life (except for maybe my epidural HAHA). I wear my retainers in the evenings and all night. I see my orthodontist and my surgeon in April. I'm hoping I get the go ahead from my ortho to only wear to bed, but we'll see. I'm still extremely happy with my smile. There are tiny gaps in little places occurring but there's nothing I can do about those- says my ortho. Just normal movement. They don't bother me either. I still can't really feel my upper gums, but it doesn't bother me at all anymore. It's just weird sometimes. I love my smile! I wish I had more to say, but here's some photo spam instead. :P Me, TODAY. Loving life and my new smile!  Me...

Surgery date soon to come!!!

I'm too excited to wait to post... I will be getting a surgery date THIS WEEK! My orthodontist met with the surgeon on Friday and they said I'm "officially" ready!! They called me at like 4:30 on Monday afternoon and told me to call the surgeon. Even though I had an 8 a.m. appt on Tuesday morning at the ortho, lol. So I called on Tuesday afternoon and they were like... um we don't even have the paperwork back from their meeting yet- haaaaaa. So they were like- we will call you before Friday. So by FRIDAY I will have a date!!!!! Hopefully. I'm just so excited. And extremely nervous. Mostly nervous. And for the first time in like four months my teeth hurt after the adjustment they did. Yuck. It was hard to chew things yesterday. It's mostly better today though. And as far as breastfeeding goes- my supply dropped when I had a bad illness two weeks ago. So I thought I'd start feeding her formula for one bottle per day to start weaning her, then s...

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...
