Tongue Tied!

There haven't been any updates this week because I'm having a hard time staying awake long enough to write one. Man, have I been sleepy again. There for a couple weeks I was feeling kind of normal again energy wise....staying up a little later, exercising, etc. but this week I've been zapped! Luckily I'm still able to get comfortable enough to sleep like a rock, so I'm counting my blessings in that area.

Dentist appointments and I just don't seem to get along lately. I went yesterday to have some cavities worked on. They were trying to be sweet I think and numb me up good, but after 8 shots I couldn't feel a thing...not even my eyes. I've had LOTS of dental work done and this was by far the numbest I've ever been. Apparently, during the procedure,- I bit not only the side of my cheek, but also through my tongue and put a nice gash in it. Of course all the numbness has worn off now and there is no pain in my teeth but boy is my tongue swollen, jacked up, and sore. Feeling like such a dork! The dentist called today to check on me, which was nice, but of course there's not really anything I can take medicine -wise or do for now except just let it heal. She said it would be a slow process....yeaaaa! Even soup is unpleasant to eat but boy, am I hungry. Baby boy wants some food! I might break down and get a big fat milkshake tonight. Maybe that will fill me up better than broth!

Okay, enough whining.......

One week from today I'll be flying home to St. Louis. I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't seen any of my family or friends back home since becoming pregnant so I'm really excited to share some time with them. I bet baby boy will be getting lots of tummy greetings from grandparents-to-be! I even have my first baby shower next weekend. So exciting!!!
