Dh fell down the stairs holding baby

I saw the whole thing and it was like watching my worst nightmare happen in real life right before my eyes. Thank god she is ok.

He tripped three stairs from the bottom and she slipped out of his hands and on to the floor on her tummy. He held on for most of the fall but at the end she just slipped out. I suppose it was not so bad in reality but in my head she flew into the air and hit hard on her face. In realty she had no bruises anywhere, cried for two minutes and was over it. Dh said she braced herself with her hands. I was taking her to er but my sister is a pediatric nurse practitioner and arranged for us to come see a pediatrician in her practice immediately. I cried from relief when she said it was all ok.

I am just so relieved and on the other hand, I keep reliving it over and over in my head. The fear is terrible. I don't want to bring it up to Dh again because he was so upset of course. So I need to let it out somewhere.

We are extra close observing her for some hours but there has been no change in her personality and no bruises have appeared.

She was an FET so Dh said if she handled being frozen, she's tough and will handle anything!

    I'm so scared of one of us falling when we go up and down MOTN. My mom fell down a whole flight with my brother when he was like 6 weeks old. Thankfully he was fine. Babies are very resilient.

    Glad she's ok!

    Eta: holy typos!

    Thanks ladies. I think I have convinced myself finally that she is fine. No evidence of a problem or concussion. I just hope I get over it as easily as she did
