Howdy! I'm 2 months into my braces journey, and I've noticed some major improvement on my front 6. The bottoms, however, seem very stubborn. I go tomorrow for my second adjustment, and I'm anxious to see what he'll do with that. Basically, the goal of this wire was to turn the teeth (especially the ...

Well, I'm glad to see we're back...I've really missed posting here. Braces news: I'm fully braced as of Jan. 6, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The wost part was putting on the molar bands...the space was so tight that he had to shave my teeth to get them on, and that was after...

I live in a really small area, and we're only getting our first midwife ever sometime next year. So far, so good with the new OB. He's skeptical but supportive about some of my choices, like hypnobirthing, but I tell you, it really does work. I had drugs with the first two, and they didn't do a thin...

I'm with a new OB this time, so I'm not sure what to expect. My last doctor did a sonogram almost every time...it was weird not to have one yet. Can't wait!

OMG I can't wait to hear mine!

Hi Ken Just noticed you're from Ohio...are you getting hammered with the storm today, too? Our kids just found out there's no school, so now my secretly pregnant self has to figure out something to do with them! If I wasn't so darn tired, I'd bake Christmas cookies...we'll see. Anyway, enjoy your pr...

Not much to report on the braces front, although next week starts my journey, finally. Fillings next Tuesday, then they pull my top bicuspids the next Tuesday, then spacers the Monday after that, and then brace day is the day after that (2 major drives in 2 days..not happy about that!) The baby situ...

Geez! When it rains, it pours, right? Are you supposed to get the next round that PA gets tonight?

Keep that foot up, and revel in the fact that now people are waiting on you. Good luck!

Thanks! Tomorrow is my first ob appointment...not a big deal...just doing another test, and then requesting bloodwork. Hopefully, everything is fine...then the countdown to brace day begins!

Thanks! I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you...exhaustion has set in, and I've not even had the energy to lurk on here. Plus, it reminds me of how much longer I have to wait to start my braces journey!

Howdy! I'm yet-to-be-braced (Jan. 6...the Epiphany...coincidence?), but we just found out we're expecting our 4th baby in August. Congrats to you, and if you have any pointers on how to be pregnant in braces, send them my way!

Well, we're pregnant, and feeling no symptoms yet...let's hope it stays that way! FYI, the baby would be due in August. Woo hoo!

I can't believe how different your smile is already...it gives me hope!

I know, I'm so excited...one more thing to pass the time!

I know!! My impressions/consult seemed so far away when we talked about it last month, and now it's past. I'm glad I've got all the hub bub of the holidays to keep me distracted while I wait! Now...to secure childcare for the day of my fillings...*sigh*
