Black eye

[jenny82]

I am so so so so so angry with myself.

C fell this evening before bed against the handle of my dresser and cut below his eye. He was very upset and then threw up everywhere. Its not cut but there is heavy brusing and there will be a black eye. And OH even said it could scar

I feel sick. Everytime I looked at him before bed (and that took some doing, I couldn't even look at him without crying), I felt sick to my stomach.

I was sitting right there with him...and he still fell!

I am scared to see him in the morning. I keep looking at photos we took today and want to burst into tears...

Bless you...try not to blame yourself...with all the best will in the world, we can't stop them falling every time.

I have been right behind Ollie at times as he's starting to pull himself up and cruise round furniture, I see him wobble, put my arms out to save him, and he falls the way I wasn't expecting and...BANG!

The number of bumps and bruises he has is untrue!

I guess we just have to put their war wounds down to the evidence that they are becoming more independent!

Hope his eye gets better soon...and try not to feel too bad...it happens to us all. He'll have forgotten all about it by the morning, and be gettign into more mischief soon enough.

Aw poppet - they seem determined to damage themselves don't they!

There's nothing you can do to stop it happening - I bet it will be less scary in the morning than you expect. Lots of mummy cuddles will do the trick. You'll remember it much linger than he will. I'd be extremely surprised if there's any sign it ever happened within a couple of weeks.

Big hugs xxxx

Thanks everyone. Usually he was a wee knock and he gets a big hug and hes fine. But tonight just looked so horrible. I was terrified to even look at his face.

It was a bit better before he went to sleep, thank goodness. I just dread tomorrow morning

Also, OH is taking all the handles off our furniture in our bedroom. They're leathal weapons!

I totally understand. I felt absolutely horrid when my baby rolled off the changing table onto the floor the other day. We try and protect them, but accidents happen.
