Ellie slept through the night again!
I, on the other hand, woke up four times. Once to catch Willie sneaking into our bed, once because my night guard was out of my mouth, laying on the pillow, stabbing me in the face, and another time to find my night guard completely awol.
I have been ignoring dentists for years about this night guard thing because I figured I’d take it out in my sleep. You cannot control a sleepwalker! But this time I gave in since the wear on my teeth was visibly worse from my last x-rays. They assured me that it’s not uncomfortable so I won’t take it out.
LIARS.
So then after losing the nightguard in the middle of the night I went back to sleep and no doubt ground my teeth twice as hard over it (and clenched my poor fingers into total agony) until I woke up again and tore the bedding apart to find it.
So that’s four wake-ups for Traci, zero for Ellie. How is it that my baby is better than I am?
