Yesterday was pretty rough, definitely my worst day so far. I had some serious "morning" sickness right after I got to work and felt this overwhelming need to lie down. Not too unusual but normally it passes within minutes, and this time it just kept going on and on. So I decided I better just go home (hey, why not?). At home I hung out on the couch for awhile, drank some sparkling water with a splash of ginger ale, and finally started to feel a little better after an hour or two. I ultimately worked the rest of the day on my laptop and got more work done than I probably would have otherwise!
Then this morning, I was eating my egg mcmuffin sandwich (homemade of course on a whole wheat with FLAX english muffin) on my way to work and BROKE MY TOOTH. How do you break your tooth on an english muffin, I ask? It was pretty disgusting. I actually broke the tooth about 6 years ago and the composite I had on there just popped off, and I bit down on it accidentally and swallowed it, ew. Luckily when I got to work I called the dentist and they were able to get me in right away. I was a little nervous because I know both times prior when I got the tooth fixed they had numbed me up and who knows what crazy drugs they would have been injecting. But they were able to fix me up without any x-rays and no anesthetic either. Luckily it's not a bad break so it wasn't painful at all. It probably turned out to be cheaper that way too.

Ew, I cannot handle teeth stuff. I really dislike going to the dentist. And I can't imagine swallowing part of a tooth, either! Yuck. I think my fear of face/mouth injuries probably came from that sick rollerblading accident I had. How big of a chunk of tooth came off with your English muffin?
My worst day ever was actually 6w3d. I noted it in my preggo planner. :) I remember it was OVERWHELMING and I could not stay home from work b/c I had a film crew coming to the school to start shooting for the recruitment video I was working on. I've never had to suck it up more than that day in my life! I actually remember telling the director of the production company, "Okay, no one else around here knows this yet but I'm pregnant and I am having SERIOUS morning sickness. If I just walk out of the room in the middle of a take, just ignore me. I'll be back." Luckily I knew him from before so he just laughed at me. Ugh. I even carried plastic bags in my car that day b/c my drive was so long to work.
Hope the rest of the week is better for you!
It was a very small piece of tooth (technically not really tooth, "composite"), about the size of a pin head. Still, it was pretty gross to crunch down on it. At first I was like, what the heck was that in my english muffin?????!!!!!
