Moments that make mom cringe

Today I had one of those moments when I heard a thud followed by screams from my baby girl. I had set her on the couch as far back as I could so that I could move my mom's laptop out of the recline so I could sit in it with my baby. And in the time it took me to do that she wriggled her way off the couch! Anyway I put the pacifier in her mouth and she stopped crying so I figured she must not hurt too bad. I couldn't find any signs of injury...but the thought of it all made me sick. I even had my dad examine her, he didn't find anything either! so the lesson for today even a 2 1/2 months old it is not wise to let the baby out your sight or reach unless being held by someone else or strapped into a seat

Oh heck don't frett too much. Great thing about babies is the bounce! Hang in there Mom! Sparky

Yeah my mom told me my brother fell off lots of things when he was little...I told her that wasn't too comforting...I mean imagine what he could have been if he hadn't fallen on his head so much Watch her grow up maybe one of the hardest things I do in life...already I want to protect her and keep her from hurting.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, you are a very good mommy.....i want to be like you!!!!

she is 2.5 months already???? OMG.....I am in shock..... I am glad Lissy is okay.....I would have been scared too.....my biggest fears right now are: 1) Nate does not make it hear in time for me to have him here with me when I go into labor 2) Coming back to ATL alone after leave in MD until Nate gets out of USN AM sure I have much more to worry about, right????

hmmm...yeah I am not sure what to say about the going into labor while he is gone...but I will pray it doesn't happen. Are you going to have some one stay with you for a while when you come home? No point in worrying until it is actually happening...

Thanks for the prayers...I am creating a contingency list in case he is not here but keep praying and it will be the only time I ask people to pray my labor is long After Baby Gill is born we will be here for a period of time (maybe 3 weeks or 4) then we will head to MD for the next two months or so then I will have to come back to ATL for work with Baby Gill....am hoping my GFs can come stay with me for awhile Just to get me started again or maybe Nate for a week.....have to figure that out...and am needing to start looking at daycare soon too LOVE IT

Man - if I had a dollar for every time one of MY kids knocked thier head I would be sitting pretty! You are doing fine - those kiddos are pretty tough little cookies....

Just remember this... Babies are tougher than you think they are. Those moments happen and we learn. There is no manual for a baby and no manual for how to be a Mom. You are doing fine. Hugs Julie

Hey Lisa, I can still hear the thud from Mallory falling to the floor. I was holding her and laying on the couch with her in my arm... I fell asleep and must have moved my arm and woke up to the most horrible noise ever of her hitting the floor and her screams... I feel terribly guilty to this day... but she was fine and I am sure Felicity is as well. They are pretty resiliant and let mom learn a thing or two along the way. Hang in there. more bumps and bruises to come. Chalk it up as a lesson learned. The do wiggle a lot when they get those legs kicking!!! lol
