I dropped DD!

Pretty sure DD is ok, but as I was getting her out of the swing (a lower travel swing), and as she was flailing her arms, I lost my grip and dropped her.  Her midsection hit the swing leg.

She immediatly screamed and pooped a huge diaper.  I was able to calm her down and then undress her to see if she was ok.  No visible marks, and I she didn't cry or fuss as I pressed on her midsection.  I will be so much more careful.  Typically I bend over to get her, but I think I'll be sitting down in the future (once I can bring myself to actually use the swing again).

Oh no! I am sure she is okay. She didn't hit her head did she? I am always scared I am going to lose my grip on DS getting him out of the tub.

I second this. I am terrified of holding a wet squirming baby.

If it makes you feel any better, about a month and a half to two months ago, I put DS on a pillow on the couch while I quickly ran downstairs to put something in the refrigerator. I heard a thump, followed by DS crying. I ran upstairs and found him on the floor face down. I about died. I scooped him up, convinced I had injured him severely and the minute I picked him up he smiled at me. Needless to say, he doesn't lay on the couch by himself anymore.

Thanks!  I grabbed her, so her head didn't hit anything (thank God!).  I've always been super paranoid about bath time too and have never attempted a bath without DH.  She has been in a pretty good mood today, so glad it's not a fussy day (so far).

Oh how scary!!!

 

When DD was three weeks old my husband fell down the stairs with her in his arms.  He bruised his back pretty bad but DD was OK!

I fell down the stairs with DD too. Used my elbow to stop us/ protect her. Yeah that hurt and scared the crap out of me. She was asleep and just woke up and looked at me like "whoa what just happened"

She should be fine. Babies are tougher then you think. They do get sqeezed out of a little whole when born, If your really worried you can always call your Ped to get some advise. You all are doing a great job and congrats on all the babies.
