Fourth of July and the dentist

Grandmo came to visit for a day. The girls were very happy to see her. We went to Cheesecake Factory with Laurie and Ella. Then we went swimming. Well, I didn't go because I don't have a maternity swim suit anymore. Which stinks because now I'll have to buy another one because I'm taking Maggie to Great Wolf Lodge. I had one forever (or since I was pregnant with Maggie); I probably threw it away this past December. :(

Maggie and Grandmo slept in Maggie's bed which must have been quite crowded. We were sad she had to go but luckily, she is able to come visit pretty often.

So the day Grandmo left, we went to the follow-up appointment for Maggie's tooth. Oh dear God! It was awful. It was supposed to be less than an hour. She wouldn't let them use the big tools without freaking out so we got sent to a specialist. We saw them and they said they would take it out in the afternoon. So we went and got lunch and ran errands and tried to figure out what to do for the next couple of hours. Then we went back. This time they used the gas and local anesthetic. She got super giggly and was very cooperative until they pulled out the big (ie, loud) tools and she freaked out again. So they told us she'd have to come back next week and be sedated. Ugh!!!

We did our Fourth of July celebration at Hurst again. This year we didn't get there until after 7pm because I knew I couldn't take the heat. And even that late for the first hour or so I thought I might pass out a few times.

 Here's Maggie on the bus ride over.


 Lynette and her family were there again this year.
 And Lynette and Maggie danced again this year. Luckily, this year I took pictures.

 She's so sweet watching fireworks.


So we went back to the dentist today and we're finally done. They sedated her and it was weird. It was very similar to a drunk person. She couldn't stand or walk on her own. And she told me weirder stories than normal. But, thank the Lord, it's done. She has a silver tooth in the back.

I thought I would update on the pregnancy too. First of all, I am huge. My tummy is way out. What's weird is I haven't gained that much weight at all (ESPECIALLY compared to how much I gained with Maggie). I have really bad hip and back pain. I'm wearing a pregnancy belt thing that helps a lot with the back pain but not much with the hip pain. I've started seeing my chiropractor about the hip pain.

I have no cravings or really much interest in eating. I feel like crap when I'm hungry and when I eat too much and I just really don't care about eating. The only thing I really crave is ice. Oh, how I love to crunch on ice.

I'm tired and hot most of the time. And I can get quite irritable about nothing. I have a lot of things ready for the baby. Not everything but I'm getting there. As of tomorrow I'll be 30 weeks. I am so ready for Ruby to be here and not be pregnant anymore.
