First Tooth

Abby hit a big milestone yesterday in her five little years of life - her first time of loosing a tooth!  She was pretty nervous about the event, afraid it would hurt, afraid it would bleed (all of my kids are pretty wimpy when it comes to the sight of blood).  Here she is with her very loose, hanging by a thread tooth.
Another tooth shot.  She wouldn't let me touch it.
Unfortunately, I was gone when it finally came out - she was over at a friend's house.  But she was super excited to show her new gap to me. 
Thankfully the tooth fairy remembered to show up last night while she was sleeping.  It would be bad of her to miss her very first appointment with Abby.
I'm curious - do any of you remember losing your first tooth? Or any tooth for that matter?  Any fun tooth losing stories? I really don't remember losing any of my teeth.  I do remember hoping I would lose one at school because the teacher had these cool little certificate she would give to any kid who lost a tooth during the school day.

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

New Tummy Shot and Tooth Trials

Image
I took this picture yesterday before church - I'm almost 19 weeks here - definitely looking pregnant. Aaron finally felt the baby move last night.  It made him happy.  I had been able to feel it from the outside for several weeks now, but every time I tried to get Aaron's hand there, the baby would stop kicking.  I'm enjoying feeling good again and having a little more energy - though I do get more tired out sooner than I used to.  I guess that goes with the territory.  Next week is our ultrasound appointment.  We decided that we are going to find out what we are having!!!  I'm super excited about this! Yesterday, right as church was ending, David took a nasty fall at church.  Somehow, the only thing he managed to hurt was his lips and one front tooth. It appeared that his single tooth took the entire fall.  He cracked it vertically from top to bottom, and then along the gum line was another crack running horizontally.  So I spent about 20-30 minutes searching for a de
