Mylee's Dr. Appt. & Mak's Dental Work

Well we came back for Mylee's 15-month shots today since she was sick for her check up and couldn't get them previously last month. She didn't do so hot. Not a happy girl at all! So upset but what do you expect. Or she's just not happy around strangers at all. She knew something was up. Now we just have to make it back later for their flu shots. We didn't give it to them since Mak is getting ready for some major dental work today. We had to clear a few questions with the pediatrician too while we were there about Anesthesiologist and kids. We had already made our decision but wanted even more confirmation. Which we got! Whew!

Mylee before going in. She's quite happy in the waiting room just walking around.

Now it's time for Makayla's dental work. This is a very scary day for us and her. I can't believe it was just 7-months ago for her very 1st dental appt. and everything was great. Just some soft enamel to be careful with which we thought we were but obviously not good enough since we're here today for some major dental work. Lots of ugly cavities and possibly 2 crowns too. Not good at all but now we just have to take care of it. The big deal is her being put under today. There are two Anesthegiologist doctor's from UCLA taking care of her. We know she's in good hands but this is just nuts! She's been great and understands how bad her little teethers are so that has made her really give up her sippy cup with milk even. Bad habits that we just couldn't break. She's our first! Now we really learned the hard way but we're not sure if that's even the cause of it. Probably some, but not all since everyone keeps on telling me it's genetics or I think it's environmental or something I ate or had when pregnant! haha! I have to lighten things up a bit since we've been so hard on ourselves about this whole situation.

Myleeboo was a trooper during this whole thing too. We had some miscommunication with Grandma today so that's why Mylee is with us for this long process but it was okay. All worked out and she was a good little girl as you can tell!

Killing time in the kitchen while big sis is in the back getting her procedure done. Probably a 2+ hour wait.

Press play to see Mylee just walking, walking now! Finally! She gets so excited!

Now it's for other toys. This pediatric dentist's office is fantastic! They have all kinds of stuff to keep the kids all occupied. So much fun! Thank you for taking such good care of Makayla. She did great! All was fine! Too bad I was so worried that I didn't take pictures of her with all her wonderful doctor's that took great care of her! Boy are we glad for this to be over. Now we just have to take it easy tonight. Sounds good to cuddle and watch some Princess movies!
