I was giving Jazz a bath earlier and one of the most annoying things she sometimes does is stands in the bath. I tell her no and to sit down which she understands. Tonight she was way too active in the bath though and was standing a lot, then she slipped and hit her lip on the side of the bath and of course she screamed! I hugged her until she stopped crying and then I saw that half of her top lip is all swollen and I just started crying a little. I hope it doesn't look too bad in the morning. She didn't let me put an ice pack on it. We gave her some nurophen to help with any pain she might have and also there is anti-inflamitory qualities in nurophen which should help with the swelling.
My poor bubba, that's so far the biggest, most obvious bump she's ever had. I know it wont be the last. Every part of the mum in me just wanted to take the fat lip away and have it myself just so she didn't have it.
