Bad Mommy
Ok, so i get to be a post whore today. I am FREAKING out. The past few weeks I've had to use Neosporin on Liam's little man part because he had an adhesion. I feel terrible when I had to mess with him because he screams bloody murder. 
So anyway I was lying in bed last night worrying about whether or not I had re-capped the Neo but fell asleep. So tonight Liam was asleep and my brother and his GF came over to visit. After they left I went in to check on Liam like usual (I do this several times a night) and he was sleeping all soundly and I rubbed his head and he rustled around a bit when I saw his little hand open...and there was the Neo cap. I whisked it away and then began to cry and picked him up and just held him. Had he decided to put it in his mouth, he would have choked. I don't even know how long he had it or HOW he even got it. I feel terrible... a total failure as a mom. I know I shouldn't but damn, that sucked.

I am so sorry. You are a great mommy! Stuff happens, and Liam is ok, so don't beat yourself up over it.
