Okay I'm never cutting Ava's nails ever again.

You'd think I'd learn after cutting Nicholas' finger when he was an infant.  Today I cut Ava's nails and proceeded to cut 3 of her fingers.  Yeah I felt like crap.  her poor little fingers were bleeding so much, I thought I was going to have to put crime scene tape around her.   Blood all over her bib, her burpie cloth, my shirt.  What a diseaster. 

So no more nail clipping.

    Aww :( This happened to me and DD a few times. It's even worse because it bleeds so much! But I'm sure she will forgive you! I am terrified that I'm going to cut DD one of these days when I'm cutting her nails... she already hates it so much, I can only imagine what would happen if she saw blood!

    I refuse to cut my kids nails.  I did Paige's once when she was a baby and took a gash out of her finger.  Never again.

    DH has the steadiest hand and does a great job, so we are okay.

    Awwww...I did that the first time I cut Leland's nails.  It was like a blood bath! I felt so terrible!  I was crying and screaming at my DH to make the bleeding stop.  Leland didn't even notice it happened, but I was tramatized.  DH made a little bandage for his finger.  I think he was only 5 weeks old when it happened.

    After that I just filed their nails. It was much easier.  I didn't start cutting them again until about a month ago.

    That is the worst!  I got a little of Vivi's finger once and I cried more than she did.  She's so squirmy!

    I'm SO sorry.  I really think cutting babies' nails is one of the WORST things b/c they squirm so much and you can easily accidentally cut them.  I know there are worst things out there but I'm in the same camp as you....it's not something I enjoy doing at all.  With my older daughter, I would always have our nanny do it - I hated doing it so much.  Sadly, we no longer have a FT nanny now that I'm now working so the task falls to me with our younger daughter.  I hate it.

    I am still traumatized from when I cut Grant's finger nearly two years ago!  The worst of it was that I cut the index finger on his left hand--one of the two fingers he sucks.  Bad, bad mommy!  It was awful.  The blood, the crying (his and mine!). . . and then knowing that I still had to cut his nails in the future.  It was awful!

    Good news, he doesn't remember it!  She won't either, but my thoughts are with you!
