Back in the saddle again

Ok! So I thought I would update on how I am feeling lately with my face. I got to thinking yesterday about how I don't need Tylenol every few hours, isn't that cool? I feel pretty good each day now. No more big pain to speak of. My teeth are tied together less (thank you Dr. Sales) and I can speak freely. Don't know if that's a good thing for Adam though, because now I babble on all the time.
Anyhow, my face isn't a numb anymore either and I can feel almost all of my upper lip. Maybe 3/4th of it. I still am swollen...I can tell when I touch my cheeks but that is supposed to linger on for months. All in all my kisser feels pretty good.
Speaking of kissing, I am able to now! YAHOO! I can kiss the baby when he hold still without too much pain! That is awesome. And a couple of days ago I was able to kiss my husband with gusto! IT WAS SO NICE! I missed kissing him 'real' kisses instead of pecks. I forgot how nice and kissable he is! :)

Here is pic of me while I waited to pick up Sydney today. My face is still chubbier than normal. Oh well. And check out my hair. Looks reddish in the sunlight huh? See Sydney, its NOT BLACK! My hair is dark brown! (We always debate this!)

I have been running around normal speed the last couple of days so I think I am truly back in the saddle again. Feels good!

It is crazy that you have this whole surgery and more braces situation. Yo had braces for so long in high school and now you're back to it again! But I'm glad you're feeling better and hopefully this will be the last time. Enjoy the kissing!
