ER Visit #1

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I just didn't think it would be my fault! But last night after Little Miss "C" finished her bath and hair wash (which is an event unto itself...) I was carrying her down the basement stairs to see Daddy and Ben. And I slipped...two steps from the bottom thank goodness. Down I went on my tailbone (sore like mad) and into the corner of the wall went Little Miss "C"'s head. At 1st I didn't see the gash, but as she calmed down and I started looking more closely I saw that this one would need some stitchin'.

So thankful for our dear neighbor who came to stay with Ben while we trotted off to an ALMOST EMPTY pediatric ER (praise God). She was a trooper - I tell you this gal is made of steel. Cried during the shots to numb her head, but was fine quickly after the 3 staples went in. Now if I can just get used to the staples in her head. Thankfully she never got sick, passed out, etc. so we look good to go. Daddy will try to remove the staples in about 10 days.

Otherwise we've had a good month so far, although everyone has had/continues to have runny noses and sinus congestion. Little Miss "C" being the worst....running like a faucet. Here are some photos of our weeks:

Ben gets a ride in the baby stroller - don't tell anyone he wears recycled pink bibs when we're at home.

Ben has his 1st tooth! Mom wants to get his 6 month photo taken, but he keeps scratching his face so a "good day" hasn't come about yet. He was 27 in long and 17 lbs 12 oz at his 6-month Dr. visit. Doing well!
