Yesterday I got invisalign. If any of you wore braces in HIGH SCHOOL- you'll know what I'm talking about when I say "youch!". My teeth hurt so bad! I did wear braces in high school, but did not wear my retainer so here I am doing Invisalign- let that be a lesson to all teenagers. Anyway... I have noticed that I think twice about snacking since I have to pop out this super tight contraption in order to bite into anything. I am still deciding which is worse, the pain or the lisp I now have. Oh well... it's only for five months. If you are wanting to lose some extra pounds after the holidays- invisalign is the way to do it!
I do want to mention how different going to the dentist is now that the dentist is my husband. Here are a few differences I noticed:
* I didn't need to find a babysitter for my kids because the assistants entertained and played with Ethan and Ella the whole time Kent was working on me.
* I realized how close Kent's face really is to people all day long as he works on their teeth.
* While I was in the chair several of the employees came in to watch what was happening.
* Brent and Gary Martin came in and poked around and made sure everything was fitting correctly. It was funny to have friends doing my dental work. Luckily they are very good at their jobs!
*Another difference that I must mention is- I now look forward to seeing the dentist!

Uh, like you need to lose any weight!!!! Hope you guys had a good Christmas, and an even better new year!
I bet "spending time at the dentist" takes on a whole new meaning now right? Love you and all of your fun party ideas... Makes me wish I was a little more creative, a little more energetic, and had a whole lot more time to do something with my mundane life... Instead, the world exhausted doesn't even describe what I feel lately... Hopefully that will pass after the first trimester is out of the way, which is next week so energy here I come! Love you!
I am finally catching up on your blog and checking in on ya. I am so glad you were able to travel to see family over the holidays. We loved seeing your Christmas card and miss you. loves, Joy
How nice- I still don't really look forward to seeing the dentist . . . The invisiline thing is great- though I can imagine annoying. I still have my retainer from high school and every once and awhile I remember and pop it in and you are right- youch- it is a bit tight!! I should probably wear it more often so my teeth look straighter like they used to . . .
