Avery and I both went into the dentist appt yesterday feeling very nervous as to what was to come. After reading the comments here and on facebook of others who have had this before, I was extra nervous.

But, we got there, and there was no pain for her at all. the worst part was the cement they had to put on the expander.


so, it's in. we have to crank it on Sundays and Wednesdays, so her first bit of actual discomfort will probably be on Sunday. they said to expect it to stay on from anywhere between 6-12 months. she definitely has some words that are hard to say, her name being one of them. it will get better with time, as she learns a new way to talk.

IN OTHER NEWS...
