Caught Clenching--and a Visit from Grandma & Uncle Ammon

On Monday night, Grandma Brewer & Uncle Ammon came and stayed with us.  This was Beau's first time meeting Ammon! Grandma gave Beau a bath...and Beau gave Grandma his usual surprise--peeing in the bathtub!

Tuesday, Ammon went to a seminar so I didn't get to see him much.  I only saw him when he got back right before they left. 

Grandma Brewer helped me go to the dentist which I have been needing to do for a LONG time.  She watched Beau while the dentist tortured me (not really--he was nice) in the dentist chair.  You see, I thought I had a cavity.  But, upon further examination by a dentist....I don't.  Apparently, I am not having tooth problems.  Just jaw problems.  The dentist said that he thinks I'm clenching my teeth due to stress.  (WHAT STRESS????? ha ha...I didn't just have a baby or anything)  He told me to pay attention and see if I clench my teeth.  I've caught myself 3 times now.  The first of which was last night while I was up breastfeeding Beau.  If I can stop clenching, the pain should go away! Hopefully, I can relieve stress in more positive ways.

For those of you who aren't aware (because I wasn't)...when you're just sitting with your mouth closed, your teeth SHOULD NOT TOUCH.  There should at least be a small gap. 

Even though I had to go to the dentist, Monday & Tuesday were fun with our visitors!
