the boo-boo diaries

the morning started off pretty well. we were getting ready to head out to church, but i wanted to make a bottle for ashlyn first. so i put jordan in his carseat which was sitting on the couch, like so:

i was standing in front of that fridge on the left. i didn't strap jordan in because it takes me 15 seconds to make a bottle. as i'm dumping formula, i hear a loud crash next to me and then - screaming. he must have leaned too far forward because the seat tipped over landing my precious baby on his face. i'm pretty sure i dropped the bottle and ran to him up. it was awful and i can't tell you how quickly and intensely that "bad mommy" feeling washed over me. he couldn't even breathe he was trying to cry so hard. he was kicking his little legs in pain. horrible. i held him and rocked him and he immediately tried to go to sleep. you're not supposed to let them fall asleep for an hour after they hit their head (because of concussions and possibly not waking up) so i was doing my best to keep him awake, but he just kept crying. he finally calmed down a little and i was able to play with him on the floor for a while to keep him up.

here he is with tears and boogers.

it just got worse as the day went on....my poor little guy. i learned my lesson. i just wish my lesson didn't come at the price of my little guy hurting. :(
