We went to Nana's house today and went swimming with Aunt Ashley and Bristol. We had so much fun and the girls loved the water! Definitely little Florida girls.
To all Moms out there:
8:02 AM
Have you ever had one of these moments...
Last night I was holding me 8 week old little girl upright, overlooking my shoulder. I was foolishly holding her with one hand place on her bottom and lower back. She had being doing a really good job lately of holding her head up and looking around, so I thought nothing of it. We were doing great! Until she decided that she was going to force her body backwards with all her might. She did this so quickly and with so much strength I almost dropped her! Thankfully I was able to catch her before she went completely upside down. I felt a 'crack' and I immediately held her close and waited for the screaming. It took a few moments of shock before reality sunk in...then the worst sound I have ever heard in my life...she started screaming and I mean a horrific scream of pain. I was freaking out thinking I had broken her, snapped her neck, paralyzed her. I had the worst feeling deep down knowing that those screams of pain were because of me, her Mom. Seth came over and took her from me because I was an emotional wreck. How could I have let this happen, what if I would have dropped her. So many "what ifs" were flying through my head. We carefully checked her over and made sure nothing was out of place. Everything seemed fine, just a little sore. Seth comforted her (and me) and she soon fell asleep - forgetting what had happened to her only a few short moments before. She was okay. I on the other hand was still dealing with the emotion of what happened. I don't know if I will ever forget this moment. It definitely made me realize how quickly your life can change. I thank God today for our health and keeping us from a tragedy last night. I am sure this has happened to all Mom's at some point in their life in one way or another. And I know this most likely will not be last time I do something on accident that causes pain to my children. I just pray it doesn't happen again anytime in the near future. Oh, and that picture was not taken last night. =)
