I don't really do this often any more, but this blog will be about me instead of about the girls or Dave... I GOT BRACES! Last Wednesday I went for my 2nd consultation with an Orthodontist about getting braces. Most people who know me don't really realize that there is anything wrong with my teeth, but it is really something that I've been self concious about for a long time. So after my consultation the planning lady came to me and said "Would you like to have them put on now? We have an opening."... ... ... ... ... ... ... I was sooooo nervous, but I said OK and 2hrs later I had the braces on and there was no going back! I will have them for 24months, and then have a permanent retainer on the bottom teeth and one to wear at night for my top teeth. I have lost 5 pounds since Wednesday so far, and I'm sure over then next few years I'll lose more just from the soreness and akwardness of eating with them. All of my friends and co-workers have been very supportive and are making me feel really good about my decision. Cadence thinks they kind of look funny, but she doesn't really pay any attention to them, and Tatum could care less - she loves me more than anything but her food and bottle :). I don't know when I'll be comfortable having my picture taken with them, but maybe soon I'll be confident enough to do it and post one up here.
Also, Me, Dave, Cadence, Tatum, Nana (my mom), Mumsie (my grandmother), and Pop-Pop (my grandfather) are all going on vacation together to Savannah at the end of May... We have the cutest cottage reserved for our stay and it is right at the beach there at Tybee Island! It is 3bedroom, 1.5 baths, full kitchen, fenced in yard.... EVERYTHING! I am counting down the days, and we're all SO excited! I guess that's about all for now... I'll keep on blogging if you'll keep on reading :)
