my men and their teeth......plus sono pics





Well we got home sunday night and jumped right back into work on Monday.....we were both exhausted. The pic on the right is of Pepper in our suitcase packing getting ready to come home.....he kind of likes the boppy??Monday came along and i noticed Pepper's front tooth was loose, i kind of freaked out because i was scared he was in pain.....so Derek took pepper to the Vet after work on Tuesday, he ended up staying the night because today they put him under for a cleaning and to get that tooth pulled. I was so scared for him, I mean pepper is like my child he has been with me for 6.5 years and I just couldnt imagine him being in a cold vet's office (i know it probably wasnt cold) over night. Anyways, today they called derek post-surgical and said he was fine just sleeping off the anesthesia :( Derek went and picked him up after our ultrasound appt and of course he had an anxiety/breathing attack, was shaking alot when he saw Derek, then Derek said he was really happy to leave! anyways the vet said that because pepper is a small breed (chorkie) his teeth have a more likely chance of rotting which the process has begun, but we caught it just in time. And on top of that i feel like a horrible parent who should of brushed his teeth more often?? Gosh what a way to start parenthood? The funniest part about the whole day is that.....well Derek doesnt think this is funny......but Derek got off work early to go to the u/s appt, went to get lunch at jimmy john's and his temporary FRONT two teeth fell out. So when i got in the car he said open your hand I have a surprise for you and dropped two fake teeth in my hand....ugh....on top of that he stunk really bad from working out at work so i was ready to GAG, thank goodness i had taken my zofran. He is going to dental tomorrow to get them put back in until his real teeth come in. So off we go to the ultrasound. It went really well, we got to see our PERFECT little boy Dreycin, when i think about it i want to cry only because im so happy and love him so much already. Turns out i DONT have a single umbilical artery, i have 2 artery and 1 vein which is normal. To say the least i was glad we had a different u/s tech and Dr Cook was the doc this time. He took alot of time showing us there was no cleft lip, no heart abnormalities, and most of all the normal umbilical cord. I think he was annoyed that they had told us that last time, so he took the time with us to color code the cords to show blood flow and show us the whole umbilical cord! As my mom said A prayer for God was answered today!! the u/s tech also took the time to tell Derek exactly what we were looking at, of course Derek wouldnt even talk during the u/s because of his teeth. Dreycin is measuring as a 1.4 lbs baby at almost 24 wks! I guess he wont be having any growth issues! The doctor even said he must have big bones, and also mentioned he had a great nasal passage?? ahhhh such a relief today was, it made my entire week look wayyyy better! i even went to water aerobics tonight which was so refreshing and relaxing! I came home to dinner made, a happy dog, and my sweet hardworking hubby:) Next u/s is August 19th:) at 28wks!!!
