Just when I thought things were kind of settling down and starting to be a little bit more relaxing, something always has to pop up that needs immediate attention. Such is my life at the moment.
Everything with my pregnancy is going really well. Thankfully my blood pressure is normal so far this time. I'm sleeping just a little bit better these past few days. I'm feeling pretty good all around.
Well, Friday I noticed that I had a little sore in my mouth that I didn't pay too much attention to. As the days have progresses, the pain in my mouth has gotten significantly stronger. I've now discovered that one of my wisdom teeth needs to be pulled. That itself is unsettling to me. I don't like having any kind of work done in my mouth. That probably stems from a childhood of mouth surgeries. Anyhow, I don't have any kind of dental insurance so I called around today to find out about how much it would cost to have this sort of thing done. To my surprise, it actually isn't as much as I was thinking it was going to be. One thing that frightens me just a little is that being that I am 6 1/2 months pregnant, they can't put me to sleep. I'll have to be awake the whole time and experience the whole procedure. But the thing that really has me worried is that I can't even be seen by a dentist for at least a month. I'm not so sure that this pain will hold out for another month. Wisdom teeth...why in the world do we even have them? Life gets so frustrating every once and a while!!

Ack! Actually, I'm also surprised that you haven't already had this done to get it outta the way! I had mine out the summer before senior year of HS! I was 'awake' the whole time... they gave me a local and laughing gas, and trust me, I didn't notice anything... I just listened to my music that I had brought! :) The not being able to be seen for a month is unsettling, tho... I can't imagine having that pain for that much longer! You guys continue to be in my thoughts/prayers
