Jun. 29th, 2008 @ 09:38 pm Just when I thought I said all that I had to say, my chick on the side.. OH!..nevermind..
Current Mood: worried
So.. I have a confession to make. *Sigh* I lied. I lied when I said that I understood that my baby was rough and clumsy and would get lots of cuts and bruises. (Especially with the fair sensitive skin she inherited from me) It was all a lie. My poor baby has had a ROUGH week. Shes fallen 3 times.. and it would be okay if it was a skinned knee, and maybe a little bump on the head. NO! EVERYTIME SHE LANDS RIGHT ON HER FACE, and some sharp or hard object. It is REALLY stressing me out. She looks a mess! Shes got a big bruise on her right cheek where she slipped and hit the bath tub. On the left side of her nose is a nice gash where she tripped and landed face first on her bottle (apparently the end of a Playtex nurser is sharper than it looks) Im serious, there was like skin hanging off! Then, with the same hour as the bathtub incident, she falls on one of her toys and now has a lovely cut in between her eyes, accompanied with a horizontal red mark that gives her the appearance of a unibrow! I will never be able to take pictures of her again! Shes going to look like this for the rest of her life! No really, it upsets me cause shes hurt. Then she screams when we try to put ice on it. It makes me feel like a terrible mother. Especially when I have people like Ruth, who thinks shes my momma been working in daycare for 20 plus years, freaks out about this stuff worse than I do. My entire body cringes every time I look at her bobos... and Im at work and just want to be home comforting her. She has serious Mommy-itis and didnt' get to spend a lot of time with me today. Shes too little to be so beat up. Can't she wait til shes 3 or 4 to start all this bleeding? 14 months just doesn't do it for me. Stephen says she gets it from her aunt (Stephens younger sister Kim) who is supposedly a total clutz. Well I think maybe I feel a little better after expressing myself a little.. .... ... ... No, Im still a terrible mother. The end.
