I am so bummed. My handsome little boy Gabriel now has an imperfect tooth. A few weeks ago he hit our bed with his mouth and got hurt. I was so worried because I knew he was in a lot of pain but his teeth seemed fine and there wasn’t any blood so at the time I just comforted him and monitored it. Last week I noticed his left front tooth was discolored and now it’s totally gray! The dentist said the tooth is pretty much lifeless now, which is why it looks gray and dull. So until he turns about 6 and looses that tooth, it will stay that way!:( My poor little buddy, I am so devestated! I know in the grand scheme of life it’s probably not a big deal especially because he is otherwise healthy, but it still makes my heart sad to see his little smile look different now. I talked to my good friend Beth and she had a great way of looking at it. She said we should just pretend it’s his “Pirate tooth” or something fun, and try to turn it into a positive experience, and make it special so he doesn’t feel like it’s a bad thing. Great idea! I guess I was just so wrapped up in being sad about it that I didn’t see that perspective.
Aside from that things are good but BUSY. Yesterday we went to the Great Lakes Science Center and had a fun time at the “Grossology” exhibit! Grammie left for Florida today so the boys are back to regular ole’ mommy and daddy.:) We spent so much time just having fun that now the house is ransacked and I feel tired just looking at it! I’m already exhausted, and uncomfortable and just seeing everything that needs to be done makes me feel even more overwhelemed (ugh). I also realized that we still have quite a bit to do before baby “G” gets here! I still have to go through the boys’ baby clothes from the basement, wash them, and get them ready. We haven’t bought one stitch of furniture for the nursery yet because we are saving up for everything we need (which is the dresser, amoir, and crib). I know at 28 weeks I still have plenty of time but considering March is almost here, I am starting to feel crunched for time! This month just flew by! Well I better stop procrastinating and get cleaning. 🙂
