That's All Folks!

Weeeeellllllll - I've got a lot to recap for you.

First, and focused on me - I went to the dentist last week for the first time in a year and half.  I was expecting to have my lower back left molar worked on, you know, since I'M MISSING PART OF IT.  Turns out, I had much more pressing dental issues.  There was a possibility I was going to have to have TWO root canals.  Plus two crowns.  Yikes.  I hate going to the dentist.  Well, luckily, when she got in there and was taking out the decay, she didn't actually have to go into the root cavity, so she didn't have to do a canal - but I did, obviously, have to have the crowns.  So now I've got temporary crowns and my jaw still hurts like a sonuvabish.  I go back on Friday to have the permanent crowns put on and have my cleaning.  Gah.  AND I maxed out my yearly allowance for dental coverage.  In one visit.  So when I have my back left molar fixed, that's going to come out of our pocket.  Sweet.

Meanwhile, and on a much more positive note, we leave for MI next week and I'm so effin excited!  I'm going to see my BFF KJ and my cousins and my sisters and some of Chad's family as well.

Also, Wylie is walking all around the living room hanging onto the furniture and is getting so excited to try and stand all on his own.  I'm going with a friend on Thursday to the outlets to buy him some shoes from the StrideRight outlet.  Also, this morning, he followed me up the four stairs from the family room into the kitchen!  I was getting the trash ready to take out and I heard him making some noise, so I turned around to look, and he had followed me up the stairs!

My birthday went well - KJ and I went out to dinner and had a cocktail then we went to see Sex and the City 2.  It was such a fun night.  I'm so glad that she could be here to celebrate my birthday with me.

Today, I took Wylie to see the pediatric surgeon.  Since the CCAM didn't show up on the x-rays, he's ordering a CT scan in six months and if it's present on the scan, we'll schedule the surgery then.  Sigh.  More waiting.

Well, I think that recaps all of the big things from the last few weeks or so.

So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehn, Good-bye.

Well, it's just me, the baby, and the cats again. Sigh. I really miss my parents. It's not as bad this time, though. When they left to head back home in November I cried for days. Mind you, that was pre-Zoloft. But still. I cried every time I thought about it for a few days beforehand and for about a week afterward. Yeah. Postpartum depression is awful. I mean, right now I really miss my parents, but I'm not a freaking mess with mascara running all over my face and racing through boxes of Kleenex.

But, I shan't be alone for long! My BFF KJ will be coming out here the end of May-ish. She called me this week to tell me about the wonderful deals that she's finding on airfare and to ask me how long she can stay. I told her forever. LOL I'm hoping she'll stay like two weeks. You know how you love you have company, but after a few days you start to get annoyed by their little quirks or foibles? That NEVER happens with KJ. She once lived in my room with me at the sorority house for a few months, off and on, and it never got old. I could probably see her everyday for the rest of my life and not be sick of her. This, my friends, is why she's my BFF. That and we have the same interests (read: Wylie, food, video games, nerdiness).

Also, my friend SummerSausage* is apparently coming out for a visit too. But she's said this before and I've still yet to see her here (I'm going on three years living here). So, sadly, I'm not actually planning on this happening. My MIL is making tentative plans to come out here and visit in June, I guess, and then at the end of June, Wylie and I are flying back to MI to hang with the fam and friends for two weeks. Then in August, I guess I'm going to WI with the baby, and then in October is cousin Holly's wedding in the Chi. So it'll be go-go-go soon enough. But for now, I'm just a little blue.
