What a wonderful...tiring week!
It started out with a bang. Of course, you've read that we got our referral and I have engrave her little face in my brain. She is our tiny, little miracle half a world away and their is a sparkle in her eyes that lets us know she's going to fit right in. The hard part will be the next 4 months of waiting. I am making lists, and then more lists and also trying to save a little money. On top of all this exciting stuff, I got braces. WHAT WAS I THINKING!! OUCH!! I'm trying not to whine but these things hurt so it's making it difficult to concentrate on anything other than my mouth. Today I ate mashed potatoes which is a big step up. Tomorrow I will graduate to solids!! More later!!

Braces...ouch. Had them for like 5 years as a kid/teenager and since I didn't wear my retainers, I need them again. I work for an orthodontist and he will put them on for free but I haven't done it yet because I'm scared! I don't like pain. Plus, I'm a Wuss. :)
Like Michelle, i didn't wear my retainers!At least braces have changed since my day of the torture chamber.It just hurts like heck afterwards for awhile, then everytime you get them tightened.
I bet your baby is so cute! How much does she weigh?
I am sure you are still on that referral high, even with the pain of braces. Yes, i also had them for 5 years and didn't wear the retainers and like the first commenter, Michelle, I need them again.
Did you get the clear ones? At least now, they are less noticeable than the ones I got in 1980!

My husband got braces a year ago, it took a good 2 weeks before he was eating normally. Hopefully it won't take you as long!
Thanks for the encouragement Deanna. If it is any consolation Kane got braces about a month ago and he got them on the inside of his teeth. Poor guy has to revert to sign language at around 6 pm because his tongue still isn't used to it. I am hoping we travel with you, we just need that little referral!
