Oh Baby!
I recently won a copy of this book from Bookfool. And guess what? We had our first major baby trauma. It actually wasn't that big of a deal. Noodlebug fell down and split his lip open. At first, I thought he had knocked out one of his teeth. He didn't but there was blood everywhere and I was completely traumatized. He bounced back quickly and his lip doesn't even look that bad. I think I cried more than he did. He is a tough little guy. As he gets more confident with his walking (running) he seems to fall down a lot more. I could wrap the entire house in bubble wrap but that just isn't feasible. So, we babyproof what we can and hope for the best. I have always prided myself in being calm in tense situations but I am learning that when it comes to my baby, all bets are off.
Hope you all had a calm, uneventful weekend!

So, did the book help? I remember those days well. Our youngest still has a scar from tugging down a stocking that I foolishly hung on a cast iron hook that sat on the mantel -- not connected to anything. I still think he needed a stitch or two, but hubby said he's fine, good grief woman. LOL It's definitely traumatic for Mama when the little one gets hurt!
It is always great to have a reference book on hand although I have to take issue with the section on cats where it says to watch out for cat bites since they have dirty mouths. How undignified!!!
