Dry socket say WHAT??

So Friday I had my one and only wisdom tooth taken out.  Yes, just one.  That’s all I had. I was a little sore Friday after the anesthesia wore off, but nothing unbearable.  Saturday we got up and got ready and actually went Christmas shopping.  I felt pretty good, considering.  I just couldn’t eat much.
Sunday, I was sore and pretty swollen, but again, nothing I couldn’t handle with a little pain medication.
Monday?  Terrible.  I don’t know what happened, but I was miserable.  Every time I tried to eat, even soft foods, my jaw would ACHE and throb all the way in my ear and up to my temple.  The pain medication wasn’t even relieving it.
Today?  Same thing.  So I made an appointment with the oral surgeon and he said that I had a dry socket.  Yeah, look THAT up (if you don’t know what it is).  OUCH.  They packed the gaping hole in my gums and sent me on my way.  Although it was agonizing while they packed it, I’m talking I would rather have another baby or another gall bladder removed, I am feeling better now. 
Leave it to me to complicate things.

But I’ll leave you with this super cute girl…

New developments

Over the past couple of weeks:
Finley has started crawling.  Like completely.  She gets her little self wherever she wants to go!
Miss thang has also started pulling up.  As happy as I am for each milestone, I am also equally as sad. My (possibly last) baby is growing up tooooo fast!
Finley got her first official fever/virus (11-11-13)
Finley literally WAVES to everyone!  Super cute.
My baby is starting to wean herself from nursing and my heart is breaking.  As bad as I am fighting it, she is literally slowing way down.  She is on the go and doesn’t have time to stop and nurse.  I plan to continue with at least morning and night sessions until she is 12 months, but I’m pretty sure we are giving up our day time nursing.  I have pretty much stopped pumping and we are about out of breast milk storage, so we have been supplementing with Similac Organic and Similac Sensitive (because I was unsure how it would do on her belly).  Although I have absolutely nothing against formula, (Mia was formula fed from 6 weeks old), I feel somehow let down by giving Finley formula. Bittersweet.
Finley is also sleeping THROUGH the night.  I’m talking at least 6-8 straight hours, every night.  She goes to bed between 730-830 and wakes up anywhere between 330-530.  It is fabulous!
