DD fell out of her stroller today. :( :( :(
I feel so awful and guilty. We were at H&M trying on baby hats since it was chilly out today and she doesn't have any that fit her. I was carrying her because she was fussy, but in order to actually see the hat on her, I sat her back in her stroller, without buckling her. I turned to get another one off the rack and heard a loud thud. I turned and she was on the floor. She slid out of the stroller on her back and smacked her head on the hardwood floor. She looked at me for a second with a confused look, and then screamed for about five minutes straight. I didn't have anything to comfort her, and I was so terrified that she was hurt. I grabbed a stuffed bunny off the shelf and gave it to her and it helped calm her down (yes, it came home with us after she covered it in tears and snot).
She miraculously doesn't have a bump at all on the back of her head, and she was acting fine a few minutes later. But that was a very hard fall. I feel horrible. Two months ago she fell off of our bed, and now this. I literally can't take my eyes off of her for one second. Ugh, I feel like such a bad mom. Please tell me this has happened to someone else. I always buckle her into her stroller, and of course the one time I don't for a second, this happens. 
On our way to 3 under 4!

it happens,you are not a bad mom!
it's not possible to watch them every single second
oh the poor thing! I'm so sorry that happened, but glad to hear she is okay (and hopefully you are too!). And she got a cool new toy too.
I haven't yet had anything like this happen to me yet *knocking furiously on wood* but there have been several posts about our precious LOs getting hurt so I know my time is near. I guess it's just one of those inevitable things that comes with being a mom.
I so know how you feel...try not to feel bad and you are not a bad mom. It happens. When DD was 3 months old I hit her head on the wall while going around the corner. It was the awful - wait for 2 seconds and then wail - type of cry. I feel TERRIBLE. And, last night I put her in the big tub for the first time and we had another incident. She was having such a great time, but ended up leaning too far back and fell backwards and hit her head hard on the bottom of the tub (it's an old cast iron tub - ouch). Again, I felt pretty terrible.
I think these things just happen sometimes as they are really starting to move, figure out boundaries, and learn what works and what doesn't. Seriously, try not to feel bad. I think these things happen to all of us!
