Today #1 had eleven teeth pulled. Eleven!! They were all baby teeth that hadn't been pushed out by the adult teeth that came in behind them. I felt so bad for her, they gave her laughing gas and used numbing gel before the Novocaine injections, but she still felt it. And then they came back and gave her more Novocaine when they confirmed with the orthodontist that they would pull two or three additional teeth, this time without the numbing gel. My poor girl. The dentist had to get tools to pry one of the teeth out, it took several minutes. The sounds of the teeth being pulled made me sick. I understand why many parents don't go back to the room with their kids. Yikes! She's uncomfortable now, of course. I'm hoping that her mouth will be mostly healed by Monday when she goes in to get braces put on to straighten the adult teeth.
I felt the need to share some photos. The rhubarb looks alright. I think both of the damaged stalks are going to die off, but I see new growth on the leaves already, so I'm hoping for the best. This is one of the plants coming from GRIN, so it will be posted on the Research page once I have some sit down time to get a page set up for it. The peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes look wonderful. The peppers are getting so big, I'm wondering if I'll see blooms on them soon. The cucumbers are flowering like crazy and tiny cucumbers are now turning into easy t- spot cucumbers. The tomatos continue to surprise me in how well they're growing. Some varieties are still struggling behind the pack a bit, but some have really taken off! I'm concerned they may start fruiting before I can transplant them outside. I'm not sure if that would shock them into stopping tomato production in favor of branching off more roots. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. This week I've been trying to work on getting stuff listed for sale on eBay as they have a 25,000 free listings promotion going on, but I'm finding that I really have no time at all. Between all kinds of errands, appointments, and breast feeding every two hours, there's not a lot of extra time to play on the computer right now.
