So one of my big fears happened last night

I tripped and fell down the stairs in our house while holding M. Thankfully, he didn't even notice anything happened, because I held onto him the entire time. He's completely fine. I hurt my ankle and I'm limping today. And my dog ran down the stairs after me and whined at me for being in her way. Stick out tongue

    How scary!  I'm glad that he is fine, and hopefully your ankle is better soon.

    So scary.  I did this while holding Maggie as a baby too.  I managed to twist so she landed on top of me but boy did I end up hitting harder than I thought in an odd position.  I just majorly bruised my hip though.  I hope your ankle feels better!

    oh no! I'm glad you are both OK!

    this happened exactly a year ago to me, v-day weekend, I fell on black ice while holding DD (16mo old at the time) while 24 weeks pregnant. I ended up on crutches and not able to drive for weeks. 

    Hopefully now that your big fear came true, nothing like this will ever happen again!

    Oh my gosh!  I am glad that you and M are both ok, and I hope your ankle feels better soon!  And my dogs would totally do the exact same thing, lol.

    We live in a TH with 4 levels, so lots of stairs, and this is my biggest fear too!  Every time I have DS in my arms going up and down the stairs it is in the back of my mind.

    A few weeks ago I fell down the stairs with Sprouter. Like, aaaalllllllllllll the way down. I had bruises for weeks (a huge one on my butt that made sitting uncomfortable for a few days)!

    I think moms have so sort of programming that when we fall holding our little ones, we instictively move to protect them.

    I'm so glad you are OK.  I did the same thing with DD when she was little.  Moms and babies are resilient.  :)  Thank god, or my children will never survive my klutziness.

    Oh no! That's awful, but I'm glad you're okay. I was visiting a friend with a baby in a three level townhouse a few weeks ago and had a new appreciation for my rancher.

    I remember that Sofka!!

    Glad you're OK and baby's OK.  Amazing how that motherly instinct kicks in and you "save" the baby.
