Had IL's over for dinner, DH & I in kitchen, backs to table, IL's at table with almost 3 yr old DD.......suddenly DD is crying horribly, laying quite awkwardly on the floor and MIL is saying she just went face first into the tiled floor from her chair!!!!!!
I know it's not anyone's fault. DD has never fallen out of bed nor off a chair before but I guess there are always firsts............... DH & I just feel so bad that we just took for granted that nothing would happen with parents right next to her......I feel so bad like I dropped mummy mode or somethingand didn't watch her closely enough!
DH & i were sitting on the floor with her trying to work out where the blood from her mouth was coming from and watched this massive black egg form on her forehead...................
We kept her up way past her bedtime to keep an eye on her, icing her head and making her sit quietly. DH knows first aid so has been very vigilant in checking her eyes etc She's completely fine, wanting dessert and chatting away, telling MIL that she bumped her head and, "doesn't want to do that again"............but I had to fight inwardly to stay calm so as not to panic DD but oh my goodness, it was so hard..........feel like a strong coffee right now!!!!
Blah, blah, blah.............bleh!
