Memorial Weekend…

It was a really busy weekend for us. We had so much to do and it totally flew by! It is way too hot outside. I don’t know how I’ll make it to the beginning of August in this heat. I can’t stand the heat normally. I get really bad headaches and sick if I’m out in the heat too long (which isn't very long for me) without being pregnant never mind being 8 & 9 months pregnant. I also found a tick on me yesterday. It had bit me and latched onto my hip, the lil f**ker. I had John carefully pull it off and he made sure he got the head and everything. Now I’m waiting for a call back from the doctor to see what the "protocol" is. I’m sure it wasn’t a deer tick but still I’m annoyed that I have to worry about it now. I called my gyno this morning and they told me to call him, so I did. Oh, and did I mention that I also have a really bad abscessed tooth? Because I do. It is the one I was having problems with a month or two ago that I thought was a sinus infection. Over the weekend it started hurting and flared up, so now I’m walking around looking like a cabbage patch kid because my cheek is so swollen. I started taking some antibiotics over the weekend that the doctor had given me a refill on the last time when I thought this was a sinus infection but they really aren’t helping any. I went to my regular dentist this afternoon and he said there is nothing he can do for me. I do need a root canal but he can’t do it. I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant or what. He’s done root canals on me before, so it must be. I have to go and see an Endodontic Specialist. I spent most of the afternoon on the phone trying to find one that accepts my insurance because the one my dentist referred me to doesn’t. It is going to cost me about $980 to have the root canal done, so I need to find one that my insurance will help me pay for. Finally a couple of hours later I found one that does. I have no idea if he is good or not but I’ll only have to pay about $200 out of my own pocket and that sure beats almost $1,000. I go tomorrow morning so we’ll see what happens and hopefully he can do the root canal and he’s good! Oh, and my regular dentist said I also have pregnancy gingivitis but it happens a lot during pregnancy and should go away once I download Aiden. Ahhhh, the joys of pregnancy...
