Dentist Appointments...
I have to admit I was VERY nervous about the girls first dentist appointments. Ever since having the girls I have horrible anxiety problems when it comes to taking them in public. I have already decided that it is going to be a disaster before we even begin. For some reason I always plan for the worst going into every situation, especially situations involving people poking and prying on the girls. Usually my mom goes to most of the doctor appointments with me, with having 2 children, I need help holding or comforting one of the girls. So I assumed I would need extra help for the 1st dentist appt, so I was so happy when Mike said he could get off work and go with me. Our appointment was at 9:00, but they wanted us there a few minutes early for paperwork. We had everything filled out and were waiting in the waiting room.
Patient 1 goes in, 2 goes in, 3 goes in...then they come out...about 5 more people sign in and get called back, then leave...40 minutes later, we are still waiting. Now my anxiety is starting to get the best of me...Alexa and Ava have been angels, no freak outs, crying, throwing, biting...nothing, that means it must be coming soon (hence my anxiety)...The lady at the front desk I guess could tell I was beginning to worry, so she had told us that we have a new hygienist, and as soon as she is ready they will call us back. Now, I am a mess...Why would they give us a new hygienist? This is my girls 1st appointments, really? Mike calms me down and says everything will be fine, so I try to believe him and relax. After 45 mintues of waiting we are FINALLY called back. There is a special room where lil' ones get to go for their first appointment, the girls went right in and sat on the bench. Unfortunatly, 10 more minutes of waiting, the hygienist comes in, followed immediatly by the dentist (Dr. Bailey). I will let the picutres show how the rest of the appointment went...

Ava:
Yep, you are seeing right...they did WONDERFUL for the hygienist...Now however, it was time for the dentist...
Alexa:
Ava:
I know, wonderful again...All my stress, anxiety and worrying for nothing. I was so proud of both of my girls. It just seems time is going by too fast.
After the appointments and them both being so good, I promised I would take them swimming...Here's their reward:
