I'M 13 AGAIN....PART DEUX


Hi.  So if you read my last post, I mentioned that there are some big changes taking place.  And why not just launch right into it today.


This happened a couple weeks ago.  Like I said before, having babies takes its toll on your body and for me, my mouth was no exception.  During all of my pregnancies, my gums were a bloody mess.  (I mean literally, not in the British swearing kind of way).  Anyway, on top of that, I think all of the stress and anxiety of being pregnant and raising these children actually caused my teeth to move. Why you say?  Well, I began doing this jaw clenching thing at night and gradually over the course of 14 years, my bottom teeth came out of alignment, which then pushed my upper teeth out….blah, blah, blah.  You get the idea. Here’s the crazy thing: You see, I’ve ALREADY DONE THIS BRACES THING. FOR FOUR YEARS!


HENCE, I feel like I’m 13 again.  Not my most favorite age looking back.  But yet some fun and stirring memories, for sure. 

 I can honestly say the pain has been beyond recognition.  For reals, birthing my babies did not hurt as bad as the constant nagging pain in my mouth.  I dunno, maybe that’s the mother amnesia talking.  (OH, I AM SOOOO doing a post later on mother amnesia.)

But seriously, this whole braces thing could just also be a means to an end on transforming my body because let me tell ya, ME HAS BEEN STARVING.  I will never EVER take solid food for granted again.  Smoothies, yogurt, and oatmeal is just not cutting it!  But HEY! I’m down a pound. GRIN.
