and I am still recovering from the stress and shock! This morning when we were getting our daughter ready for school, Matthew was playing by a dresser and he hit it on his mouth and it knocked his front top tooth out...completely out!! I didn't realize it but he was crying and I was holding him and then lo a behold his mouth was all red and I looked and saw a little hole...and then his tooth was on the floor. Ughh! My lil guy plays hard! We just got back from the pediatric dentist and he said he did a fabulous job extracting his own tooth. It came out completely clean, no leftover tooth or anything remaining. They don't put baby teeth back in for fear of aspiration and absess. So Matt has lost his first tooth! LOL He also said he'll be totally fine and just have a unique smile! :) Okay I am feeling better now...especially that matt is fine. But my oh my....what a morning! Here's a pic...
((((Hugs Jenna))))))
Take it easy and try and relax!!!!

OH no! I would have freaked out. My DS fell off the bed the other night and bit his toung in 3 places. The blood made me panic. Thank goodness DH was there.
I hope Matt feels better soon, and the tooth fairy brings him something great!
**hugs**

Oh my goodness! Poor lil guy. What are we going to do with these lil boys? My lil boy Stone fell off of the sofa yesterday and busted his lip and blood was gushing everywhere. His lip is swollen the size of a grape, lol, thats big for a lip i think, hehehe. This morning he gets up and tells us a lizard bit him on his lip, lol, go figure. Gotta luv em. Hope your lil guy is feeling better..Love reading your entries...Bekah

Aww Jenn!!! Poor little lamb! He does look so cute with that one tooth hanging out..haha. I'm glad he didn't do more damage..dressers can be dangerous!

Big hug!!! Nothing like seeing a mouth full of blood to get your heart racing! He'll be fine...and he looks adorable without the tooth.

OH MY GOODNESS!
A GF's girl lost a tooth at our house one time, while riding a bike and crashed into our car. It was awful.
Sorry you had to go through it!

He definitely is a cutie! :0) My Ellie hit her tooth when she was two and I thought it had fallen out - turned out that it had lodged UPWARDS! Unbelievably it came back down on its' own but was grey for a long while - we were so happy when she finally lost it! Thank goodness Matthew's came out cleanly. I guess there's always a silver lining, huh? But I know what your poor heart must have gone through during those first couple of hours...I hope you have a restful sleep tonight Jenn - you deserve it! :)
Hugs,
Joy

awww, poor baby, matthew and mommy alike! oh gosh, is there anything that can stop a mommy's heart quicker than seeing her baby's blood? i'm glad to hear that all is well now!
Posted by: cat | January 13, 2006 at 04:02 PM
OH, Jenn, I'm terribly sorry that you had to go through that! Poor little guy! Yes, I would need a long recovery time after that! Big hugs!
PS- I bought some roses for our dining room table since some friends were coming over and thought of you wen picking them out and arranging them. I thought they looked shabby chic. I even put a pic of them on my blog----was seriously thinking of you!

jenn! thank goodness he is okay! i would have totally lost it- blood always makes me crazy. poor sweetie.
glad you are both okay.

Poor guy!! But I guess it's a good thing that it was a baby tooth and not a permanent one. I got mine knocked out playing fastpitch softball in highschool and believe me, that'll cost a lot more at the dentist's office.... :)
Posted by: Audrey | January 14, 2006 at 08:08 AM
Oh poor baby - and poor Momma! Ugh it's never easy when our kids get hurt.
Posted by: Dianne | January 14, 2006 at 10:51 AM
Awwwww....man that stinks! Im so sorry Jenna! Maybe I should say...Im so sorry Matthew. I can't even get over how big he is and that little tooth hasnt' curbed is cute appeal in the slightest!! JUST as adorable. As are all your beautiful babies. Matthew's are known for playin it hard aren't they? :) ehugs from NY babycakes.

just found your blog site and was wondering if you could tell me a little about the store you have. web site for it?
Posted by: priscilla | January 14, 2006 at 03:42 PM
OH NO Jenn! I know that must have been scary! I'm glad it's all going to be fine in the long run though! Poor boy! They sure DO play hard at that age! We've had our share of accidents around here... Most of which always seem to get her on the face and ALWAYS before some big opportunity for photos! Anyways... big hugs to you both... Hope things have settled down...

OMG...I'm freaked out just reading this. I'm so glad he's okay and I know you just lost a couple of years off of your life!!! Be good to yourself this weekend. You deserve it.
