Braces

Back in January, I went to see an orthodontist at the recommendation of my dentist because of all the movement in my bottom teeth that's starting to mess with my top teeth, too. My dentist was thinking a retainer should cover it. The orthodontist said 15 months of braces to the tune of a really ugly price tag. And of course, my insurance won't cover adult braces. This plan is so good for everything else, but it doesn't cover adult braces?! ARG! This pill would be much more swallowable (is that word?) if insurance covered a little... ::sigh::

Railroad Tracks will be coming your way soon, I guess. I'm so putting this off....

Bessie

Bessie is back!

Yes, Steve's nickname for me when I'm breastfeeding, Bessie (the cow), is back. And really, I don't argue because that is what it feels like... I'm constantly pumping for or feeding Elektra, every 3 hours or less. I've got at least 5 more months of this because the American Pediatric Association (I think that's what it's called) recommends at least 6 months of breastfeeding to provide 90-some percent of the antibiodies and such to the baby. But as time passes, I'll be attached less often to the pump over the course of the day as Elektra's feeding needs change. I look forward to being done this part of my responsibilities as Mommy; I am ready to have my body back entirely!

Moooooo.
