Open Wide

Thank goodness Lucas likes going to the dentist! He's been looking forward to his visit all week. (I think it has something to do with getting a new tooth brush and getting to pick 2 toys when he is done.) His teeth are great. There are no cavities. The dental hygienist asked Lucas if I helped him brush his teeth (because they looked so great) and he proudly told her "nope I brush them," which he does. I am a very proud mom of an OCD kid (at least when it comes to his teeth) He is always brushing his teeth. He even has 3 toothbrushes in the bathroom that all belong to him and today he just got a fourth.

Standing Room Only

Lucas is teething and not really eating much lately (NOT EVEN BANANAS!!!) He just walks around with his tongue out. Thank goodness for Pediasure! I'm just glad that lately when he is teething lately that he likes to sleep more instead of less!

This morning I got Lucas up to get ready to go to church at 8:30. He picked at his breakfast and kept rubbing his eyes and yawning so I laid him back down. He went right to sleep. It was nice to go to church without him and just enjoy the message without trying to keep an eye on him every minute. I did miss him though. He has become my little constant companion when I am out and about. I'm really enjoying the church and the message each week it is always relevant to whatever is going on in my life at the time. When I got home from church at 12:30 he was still sleeping. I woke him up and we headed over to my parents house for a pool party. When we got home we put Lucas down for a nap and headed for our room to take one too. Sundays are quickly becoming my favorite day of the week.

Hoping that at midnight I don't turn back into Cinderella

At midnight I should know if the check will post to my account. (who knows if it will stay there!) I have been so stressed out by this whole bank situation!!!!

I am so tired, I have been busy all day. I was up until 2 last night and then woke up with Curt at 6:30. Then I ate breakfast, straightened up the house (hardly anything to do because the night before I had cleaned up pretty much everything), then I went grocery shopping. Curt stayed home from work because his back was bothering... I'm not sure if it was or not... I am so horrible I know I don't believe that he is sick unless a Doctor tells me he is... but also every couple months he just gets a little burned out a needs to take a day off from work, but who knows.

Anyway around 2 his mom Andrea came over and we were back working on Lucas' room! We painted the baseboards and window frame, hung curtains, put up blinds, painted a bookshelf and wall shelf, and Curt installed a new overheard light fixture. We did a couple other odds and ends as well. Everything is really coming together! I can't wait until the furniture arrives and I can really see it all together. Curt kept walking in there and hugging me and saying "wow! we really are having a baby!" it does seem a little bit more real now... and surreal also in a way!

Well tomorrow I go back to the dentist, oh what fun! Hopefully this time it won't hurt so much! Well I am going to go watch my man Jay Leno and wait for midnight so I can see if the check posts before falling into bed.

An apple a day keeps the Dr away, so what keeps the dentist away?

I've never been one of those people that feared going to the dentist. Actually I can remember countless times when I would fall sleep while the dentist was cleaning my teeth because I would feel so relazed reclined in the chair staring into the overhead light.

Well, those days might be over. My mouth hurts! Today I had what is called a full mouth debridement... which is like a cleaning only deeper... they dig into the gums to really make sure all the plaque is out of there and they use this high powered stream of water and it feels like a knife cutting around your teeth. My gums are all sore and bleeding. This is normal. I'm not complaining, I am happy with the dentist I went to... very happy. It needed to be done it just hurts like hell! Besides it can be one of those things I say when Lucas is doing something "do you know what I went through while I was pregnant with you..." I had tears coming out of my eyes and I was trying to concentrate on something else so I just kept repeating the alphabet over and over and over. So please go to your dentist regularly!!! You don't want to deal with this at all!!!

Also so far I have eaten 3 Popsicles today because the cold feels good. So that is a plus.

Oh today I got a letter from my Grandmother in Cali. I had told her I was a little sad that we weren't naming Lucas after anyone in our family. Well it turns out we did, we just didn't know. My Dad's grandfather (so my great grandfather) was named LeRoy and everyone called him Luke. She told me what a wonderful man and father-in-law he was. Every Friday he would bring home flowers to his wife and they would have everyone over to play cards and he would clean up after everyone. I know it may seem like a little thing but that made me very happy to know that! I think I will call him Luke... that way when he does something I can yell "Lucas!" before going to the "Lucas Owen Hunter"...

Tomorrow is my sisters birthday... she will be 20. I can't believe that. In a few days it will also be my best friend Katie's birthday and I have to think of something to send to her. I miss her so much and wish she was here! We have both been busy with our own lives lately and haven't really talked... but we keep up with emails back and forth. Well I think I am going to eat yet another ice cream then maybe go to bed. I just listed a bunch of things on eBay. I need to start making some money again.

My Mood : in pain Now Playing : watching the Tonight Show. I love me some Jay Leno!
