eat pee floss

I resent flossing. When I started asking my various care providers (dentisi' hygienist, optometrist) that we were trying to have a baby, they told me what I had to do to keep my teeth/gums/eyes healthy during pregnancy. For teeth and gums, the most important thing was "floss...every day.". So when I found out I was pregnant I flossed every day. I dragged my pregnant, tired butt out of bed on nights that I forgot - those who know how I am about naptime and bed time know that this is no small thing. Skipping a day, which I am wont to do when I'm not pregnant, was not an option.

So today when I went for my semi-annual cleaning, I had to decide where to draw the line when my hygienist got on my case MULTIPLE times about not flossing enough. Do I tell her I resent flossing? Do I tell her that I resent flossing because, despite the fact that I flossed every day, I still lost my baby (twice)? Ultimately, I decided not to share that particular reason with the hygienist. I just promised to floss more regularly and made an appointment for 6 months from today.

GrammaNora provided some good advice in response: Eat, pee, floss. Just because things went badly (twice) doesn't mean I can stop taking care of myself.
