Have you ever heard the old saying, "If your baby doesn't fall of the bed before he is one he will stutter?"
Well.....................Andrew will not stutter now!
Last Tuesday, one of my regular days off, Andrew and I had started our day off right! He slept until 9 o'clock. I began our regular routine off the morning. I tucked pillows all around him before I got off the bed so he wouldn't roll off and proceeded to do my business.
Well, next thing I hear is a huge crash and then my heart sunk! Andrew started crying. I just knew that he had fallen off the bed. He usually likes to roll towards Nick's side of the bed but this time he chose to fall off of mine.
As soon as I saw him laying on the floor, I started crying! He was bleeding! Panic set in for me because I just knew he had broken something! He had a scratch on his cheek, nose and upper lip.
When he fell he also hit the air vent that's in the floor next to our bed. So needless to say he had 3 straight lines for bruises on his forehead.
Now as you can imagine I didn't know what to do. He couldn't tell me if he was alright. I thought I might need to take him to the doctor but all I could think about was them calling DHR because they would think it was child abuse! He looked pretty bad. So I called my mom and asked her what to do. She thought he would be ok and told me to watch him and if anything changed to take him to the doctor. I am pretty sure by this time I was the only one crying anymore!
Turns out, my baby is fine! Thank the Lord that He makes babies flexible enough from birth to withstand certain things. Especially accidents that shouldn't occur to begin with!
FYI: He now gets put in his crib with 4 walls that will keep him in the bed and off the floor! That is for now til he starts climbing. Then what am I gonna do??
