My first real mom fail...

rimjob

Ellie was climbing in my closet this morning while I picked out something to wear.  She fell and cracked her head on the molding. 

 

It didn't gush blood or anything and we were able to steri strip it.  I honestly cried worse than she did.  I'm considering buying that spray foam insulation stuff and covering all my molding... too much?

Awww, poor baby.

Pobrecita!!!!  And poor mommy too!!!  Don't beat yourself over it, it could happen to anyone.  Give E extra snuggles and kisses today and you'll both feel better

You did not fail. Babies fall and bump their heads all the time and I'm sure this will be the first of many times. {{HUGS}}

Oh no!  Poor babe!  They are resilient little buggers so she's probably over it but I probably would have cried my eyes out, too. 

I don't think it's a mom fail...they are bound to fall and get hurt sooner or later.  Now you just have more reason to snuggle with her today.

Poor baby!    Alayna took a nose dive off of the couch the other night.  She landed right on her face, and I looked just in time to see her little head hit the ground. I also cry more than she did.  Her nose is still a little red.  I dread the first goose egg/ cracking open of head,  I will probably be a mess about it!

I am glad she is okay.  That is some scary stuff!

OMG, poor baby and I'm sorry Mama

That's quite a goose egg... thank goodness she doesn't have a concussion (sp?)

Aww, hard day for both of you. Don't beat yourself up, it happens to all of us.

I know right!   The goose egg has already gone down quite a bit.  I had to keep her awake for awhile just in case which was miserable because she was ready for a nap before she fell.

Poor baby.  These things happen to everyone - don't be too hard on yourself.

Oh NO!!! Poor baby And poor mommy.

Oh my goodness Rim, that must've made your heart sink. Poor baby. I hope you're okay, too. I am dreading the first time Liam takes a spill like that, we all know it will happen at some point!

Thanks guys.  I just dropped her off at her grandma's for the day because she is fine.  She woke up from her little cat nap all smiles and clapping and I have client meetings today that I really couldn't miss.  Every time I think about it though I start to tear up and I can't wait to get back to her.

That's not a mom fail; it's a baby fail. A was crawling around on my parent's hardwood floors the other night and kind of face planted. I think he was tired because he's generally an expert crawler. Anyway, when he finished his screaming fest, I realized that there was blood all over my shoulder from his bloody nose. He was fine but I felt terrible all night.

A mom fail would be locking your kid and your keys in your car...

Oh poor Little One!  I hope you all are doing better now.  Toddlers fall and it is the first of many bumps and bruises, but I understand the feeling.  Hugs.

Oh my goodness! She's one tough cookie!!

Poor Rim and poor baby! Ethan took a header yesterday into the lower shelf of a table in the living room. He's just pulling up and fell. Well, he hasn't really figured out yet to fall on his butt. Ouchies.

Babies fall. There is nothing you can do to prevent her from ever getting hurt. So don't feel bad. As a fellow mom though, I would have cried and beat myself up too.

Aw poor thing

Hugs to you both!  We had an incident last week - DH accidentally shut DD's finger in the baby gate.  Luckily, it was more of a pinch because there was enough of a gap at the bottom where her finger was.  DD cried briefly, I think more out of fright, but I was a bawling mess.  After a minute, DD stopped crying and looked at me like, "what's up, mommy?"  I'm sure we'll have many more bumps, squished fingers, etc. in the future.  Things happen so fast!
