I won’t lie. I was suuuper unproductive today. I did a solid amount of toy-playing, Duggar-watching, eating, and Facbook/Instagram-creeping. Yup, I am that person. Luckily, my kids are still alive and they still love me. Hopefully I’m not the only person who has days like this.
Brady got home a decent ways into the evening so we had a really quick supper and played toys until Laela just couldn’t take it anymore. It was about twenty minutes later than usual. My kids and their specific routine. I swear, we would never choose to live such a scheduled existence if they didn’t want to!
Tomorrow we’re having Willa over for the first time since Christmas, I believe! I am sooo thankful for this, since Brady is having his wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, and now I can take him! The lucky duck only has two wisdom teeth, and they’re decently grown through already, so he’s able to just get them pulled in the office with some freezing. However, Brady has never had any dental done past a cleaning, much less a surgery or even stitches. So without sounding mean, I’m not sure how much of baby he’ll turn into, haha! I’m confident he’ll be fine, I just heckle. If all of a sudden he’s offered some kind of laughing gas, this way he’ll be able to take it. So I’m relieved to have someone I trust implicitly with my kids.
Willa has also volunteered to watch Dekker on Monday when – ominous music plays – I take Laela in to see Dr. Rubab. No, I haven’t seen anything in her eyes that makes me worry, but because of Dekker’s situation, my doctor suggested she be seen at our earliest convenience. Instead of taking Laela to an optometrist, which we could have easily done, Dr. Rubab said she was very willing to see her. So we got a referral and the appointment date was pretty down the road. Its bugged me for a while now, just because I’m anxious to get the all clear. Babies can be seen as early as 6 months, for everyones information, and Laela is about 8.5 months now. Again, I’m fairly confident she’s fine, and I’m actually more curious than anything about what tests they’ll run to check her condition. But if those who pray would like to, we’d certainly welcome!
So to recap, Bradys wisdom teeth tomorrow, and Laela’s first eye appointment on Monday. Trying not to look at it from the perspective of negativity surrounding a weekend. More like, getting some stuff out of the way and seeing where it takes us 🙂 Yay positivity!!!
See you tomorrow, Grandma Willa!
If it’s any consolation to you, I’m still in my pajamas… from when I put them on LAST night. 😉 We ALL have days like this. My kids are alive; this is a win win for all of us. 😉
I’m sooo glad I’m not the only one still in yesterday’s jammies 😉
I have days like that too.
And I was in the same situation as Brady about 2 years ago. I only had two wisdom teeth and they had come through and I just got them pulled in the office with some freezing. No stitches and they just sent me home with Advil. It wasn’t that bad, my mouth was sore but get him to take Tylenol and Advil together to manage the pain (my dentist said it works better than T3s for mouth pain, but to be honest I’ve never had T3s for anything but they worked for me). The first day I was packing gauze in my mouth to stop the bleeding and then after a few days of being sore I was back to normal.
I’ll keep you all in my prayers.
I’m glad to know the pain can be managed just by meds we have at home 🙂 thanks for the prayers!
