Bruh...my GUMS!

I went to the dentist today...8 months pregnant....

Aren't dentists aware of sensitive gums during pregnancy?  They all kept saying, "You know when you're pregnant your hormones are all out of whack and your gums become sensitive."

HELLO--if you know that, why are you stabbing them with metal hooks??  Do you hate pregnant women?

I also heard, "and pregnant women cry all the time."....hello....you are talking to a PREGNANT WOMAN.  Did you think that would make me laugh?  Plus, I will have you know, I haven't been emotional in quite some time.  Happy, yes.  Sometimes very irritable--but not sappy lately (although, of course I went through this stage a while back and may go through it again soon).

Not only were the hooks going after my gums, but then while polishing my teeth she was resting the metal handle portion of the polisher (is there a technical name?) on my teeth!  She rested a rapidly vibrating piece of metal on the tips of my teeth.....can that really be good for teeth?  Isn't she supposed to be concerned about my teeth more than me?

That's my dentist vent.  I'm home recovering now.

I made some brownies for my Mother-in-law and the crew at her house because seriously...dinner last night couldn't have been more appreciated!  Now I just have to manage to drive myself over there....and it's not lookin' good.  Maybe tomorrow?  Hm...maybe later tonight I'll have a burst of energy.  HAHA.  I am more than happy to bake in exchange for dinner.  I know that seems silly--why not just cook instead of bake?  But I can bake super fast; I'm not so good with cooking and it messes up tons of dishes.  As you may have noticed by the comment from a great person on my last post--I am lucky enough to be surrounded by awesome people, so I will be baking a lot in the future.

Work's going well.  Met some more kids today, talked to some teachers...meeting with the rest of the kids tomorrow and some teams...hopefully being productive.

Here's my thing this year:  Get some serious publicity!  I emailed a ton of people at the local university to get some contacts going and maybe get some cool presentations or projects for my kids.  We want to get the word out and make the program worth something so that we can get our numbers up and make the program better each year.  I am way excited about that.  Having a baby right at the beginning of my year will make it tough, but I'm going to try super hard to get things in motion before I leave and at least maintain them while I'm out.

Now on to dinner with Dr. B, the great.  He cooked.  I guess he can have a brownie.  I get one too, since I have no cavities.
