Late Thankful Tuesday Edition

Last Tuesday was Claire's first day of daycare. I was okay with it all, emotionally. When I picked her up, she was given awesome reviews. But as soon as I took her and walked off to my car, I slipped on some ice, dropping her in her carrier (thankfully she was strapped in tight). I landed on my left side and on her carseat. I bruised my entire body, skinned my knee and ripped my only pair of PP jeans that actually fit well. Claire didn't cry but instead looked at me like "what the hell just happened?!" I felt terrible, but thankfully she was okay. My knee still hurts a week later. Awesome start to daycare.
Then Monday night she slept through the night for the first time. It was glorious. I woke up on Tuesday, rested and ready to start the day. But as I was walking out to the garage to start my car, I slipped on some ice and fell. This was worse. I blacked out. After about 10 minutes when my husband realized I hadn't come inside yet, he looked out the window and saw me laying in the driveway with my stuff all over the place (computer, pump, purse, lunch, Claire's milk). He rushed out to pick me up and when he did, I vomited all over myself. I ended up going to the doctor and was diagnosed with a concussion. So I've been icing my throbbing head and sitting in a silent, dark room for the past 24 hours. My husband took over baby duties, including taking her to daycare and her MOTN feeding (her STTN was obviously very short-lived.). I'm slowly starting to feel better, but I still need to limit my brain stimulation as much as possible (I know, I know - I'll get offline soon!).
So you might not think there is much to be thankful about in my stories... but last Tuesday I was so very thankful for Claire's sturdy infant carrier to protect her from her klutzy mama. And this Tuesday, I was thankful for my husband, in so many ways... from rescuing me to sitting beside me at the doctor's office to taking such wonderful care of our child (all by himself, no less!). And I'll add that I was also thankful for my LO for being an extra happy baby last night while I was dealing with my massive headache – she didn't cry once!
Be careful out there, ladies. Those icy sidewalks are a biotch.
