Update

It was another great week. We finally went to Roaring Springs, that place is a racket but a summer must. I was so happy to not be pregnant this year. I unfortunately had to end my summer with a surgery. I needed 2 gum grafts. Boo. I needed one 20 years ago and it was super awful and I've been dreading it since January when I found out I needed to get one that turned into two. The procedure itself was MUCH better. They gave me some anxiety pills and laughy gas and I was just peachy. It went so fast, it was great. The recovery not so much. It's to be expected to not be my super best self. I have two areas of stiches and a retainer covering the roof of my mouth where they cut the tissue for the graft. I have been on top of my pain meds taking them on schedule but I woke up to pain and a bottom mouthful of coagulated blood. It was very gross and unsettling. I thought the graft came out and I was chewing on it but I was just chewing on thick blood. I didn't sleep great the rest of the night waiting for morning to check in with my surgeon. He let me know that there must have been some disruption during my sleep but that the stiches looked good. Fingers crossed I won't wake up to a blood nightmare again tonight. I hate eating just soft foods and feel like I'm starving to death. I will survive. I have my first work meeting this Friday and then work begins the following Wednesday. It's a bummer to end my summer in recovery but at least I was able to take care of it before work starts. I really hope it can heal quickly and nicely. I'm trying hard to follow post op instructions. 

We watched Coraline, Piper is pulling her I'm tormented face.

Seriously? Cuteness alert!

It's cute when they play together.

I love that Ryan loves to cook. I helped him make some homemade whole wheat pancakes, don't worry that stack is not just for him. LOL

Pineapple Dolewhip!

Hutch and Charly do pretty well together.
