Bump on the head

Mikey's just started getting more mobile and i keep forgetting what he's capable of. tonight he was in the bath and suddenly he grabbed the side of the bath and launched himself over the edge, head first onto the floor!!! i tried to grab for him but it was like trying to grab hold of a greasy sausage or something and he just slipped through my hands and banged his head on the floor.
i picked him up straight away and he cried for a bit but not too much so i don't think he was hurt badly or anything but i was shaking, i was so scared.
now he's got a big bruise on his forehead and people are going to think i'm such a bad mum. i feel so awful!!

oh great, the things i have to look forward to. i can't wait.
but thanks for making me feel like it wasn't my fault, after it happened, DP rushed into the bathroom coz he heard the thump and the first thing he said was "what did you do!" not great for the overwhelming guilt already there.

OMG AHAHAHA that's so funny liz.
Ok I'm entering, I was trying to pull the carseat belt clasp out of the bottom of the capsule, I was in a hurry and getting impaitent and it finally flew out when I wasn't expecting it to and I wacked Olivia on the face, then that night she had her first bath in the big bath tub and Dale was swishing her about in the water and she twisted out of his arms into the tap and got a big red mark. I gave her pamol that night, and arnica and rescue remedy, then the next day it was her imm.'s and I told the nurse she just laughed it off. The next day I found out I was giving Olivia adult pamol!
I was crying for a day!!
That was a bad week!
Lucky she loves her mean and bad mummy and has a short memory!
Don't feel bad Ellabellame!!

Aw poor wee babe.. trying to cath slippery bath monsters is so hard, paris always at so still, and Ayja sounds the same as your little monkey - full of energy!

i have bumped my post called "most terrifying night of my life".. from when Ayja was 6 days old, when i posted after our pretty scary accident - to show you that no matter what happens, they are pretty bounceable... and also to reinforce the wonderful support the ladies here give.

oh and i thought that most of the ladies with new bubs might like to read and know that all of us have been through the most horrible sleepless nights at the hands of our newborns.. so hang in there it does get better... marginally.

Haha Han fell off the bed so many times when she was a little one Oops.

I always hurt my little monkey, luckily she doesn't hold it against me. I love that she doesn't blame me, she usually blames the thing that she hurt herself on!

I didn't have a bad mummy experience but it was a bad godmummy experience....I accidently shut my goddaughters fingers in a door... I didn't realise she was hanging onto the frame where the hinges where and started to close the door....I felt awful because I simply hadn't noticed her!!!

But the others are right....I can understand how you must feel but you are far from a bad mum...these things do happen!!

*big hugs*

aww ella! sebby got himself a big bruise on his head the same day as mikey! lol. he's got this thing with holding on2 something while standing up and bobbing up and down looking at the floor. he let go and bobbed his head right in2 the floor at high speed! i felt so bad but i guess its near impossible to prevent those things from happening. hugs!

yeah i did find the pants, its such a cute lil suit! sebster is great, standing up all the time now and extremely proud of himself hehe. he's forever getting himself stuck in places, he crawled off and shut himself in the bathroom this morning, made a massive fuss but wouldnt let me in coz he was leaning against the door so i couldnt open it!
i wish the boys could be together more as they grow up aye, its a pity u live so far away
sebs got masses of hair now! and he's getting actual little curls in it! looks alot like his daddy did
