Starfish - oh am sending you hugs sweety!! If you're at all concerned, for your peace of mind maybe just get her checked up at either your local GP or at a child and youth health clinic. I completely understand as with DD#1, I remember feeding her one day and as I sat her up to burp her, DH, in horror, says, "look at her head!!" I turn her and she had the most sickly looking bump in her hairline - all black/purple! It made me feel instantly sick as though I was about to throw up and then I cried because I couldn't work out when she could've possibly done it and did I miss a cry from her cot?!?! Well, DD is almost 3 now and right as rain, but man, that moment sucked!! Oh and then when she had worked out how to climb on the lounge, next thing, thump!! Yep, backwards on her head . Oh and then there was the other week when I was bathing DD#2, I am so embarrassed to share but I slipped with her and she gulped water and then held her breath for what seemed like forever and was only seconds, just flailed her arms around with eyes as wide as saucers. I had to throw her upside down......I was bawling for ages it still feels terrible thinking of it But thank God that she is fine!
Just do what you need to to put yourself at ease and remember that she still loves you!! She won't remember falling she'll just always remember that you're the bestest mummy ever!!!!!!
Well I feel as though I achieved greatness tonight!!
DH had to work tonight and I have managed to, from 3.45pm this arvy, shower DD#1 (she cried the whole time as she has this immense hate for showers ..... so that was fun ) then dried, dressed and brushed her hair, then got DD#2 up, fed her and settled her back to bed (she slept! ) got dinner for DD#1 & I, did the dishes, had three sips of a cuppa, hung with DD#1 til bed time, tucked her in, got DD#2 up and bathed her (no problems!) and fed and put her back to bed (only cried for a few minutes) and now am about to jump in my jim-jams with a cup of milo.....and it's just gone 8.30pm..........
..........thank goodness DH doesn't work every night!!!!
I feel as though one moment I rock at being a mummy and then another moment I am the worst in the whole world!! (like earlier example)Do any of you feel the same???
Was just nice to have a 'yay' mummy moment!! Hope you don't mind me sharing....it's just so nice to know that you are all here when I have my sucky marathon moments too!! Thanks!!
