Teeth

Dental Health and pregnancy don't seem to be very compatible. During the first months of pregnancy, brushing my teeth makes me totally nauseous, let alone the minty taste of tooth paste which might as well be syrup of ipecac.  Luckily, brushing and flossing is no longer a big deal as I enter my third trimester.  But the desire to vomit has morphed into an insatiable appetite for Tums to kill the heartburn that simply won't die.SO back to the teeth. I can't imagine that a steady diet of nighttime Tums, loaded with sugar, isn't killing my teeth. But I went to the dentist today, and he said that everything looked really good. Which is a small miracle.  I'm so grateful for healthy teeth, and that my appointment didn't result in 4 (four!!!) cavities like it did last time.***



I took Annie with me to get her teeth cleaned as well.



Annie loved getting away from school for a bit.



I totally had to convince her to join me for lunch.



She barely consented.  I love that girl.




Tonight was our neighborhood monthly cooking group (all neighborhood gals are always welcome to come!) The theme ingredient was cinnamon and it was super wonderful. I'm lucky to be pals with all the ladies in this room.



I got chilly and the hostess with the mostess got me this lovely, cozy afghan that she made.  My friends thought that my belly looked silly and so they took a picture of me.  Baby belly's are indeed silly looking.



Owen decided to take some fruit from our fruit platter and make some breakfast art.  
I think it looks just like Ryan. 

*** Still no news on Ryan's  colonoscopy results. I hate waiting for answers. Hopefully, 
no news is good news...:~)

    Pregnancy leads to several dental problems, and that includes tooth decay and gum-related problems. Though it's good that everything was in top shape when you had yours check up, healthy oral practices lead to healthy teeth after all! Anyway, it's great that Annie's dental visit was successful. Keep on brushing and flossing, girls! All the best!

    It’s good that everything turned out just fine regarding your dental health, and that you didn’t have to stay long, unlike before. Moving along, Annie looks very beautiful. There’s no doubt about where she got her looks from. Haha! Anyway, it’s great that she was able to tag along, and have her teeth checked as well. It’s always a good idea to have an idea on where one’s health lies. Thanks for sharing this with us. Have a great day!
