Mom award of the year right here! Vivian and I were in the bedroom watching "The Good Night Show" and she was being a wiggly worm on the bed. I put her on the floor to crawl around and she wanted to stand up holding onto the dresser knob. Something she does every single day. While she was standing up, I ran into the bathroom which is in eye view from the dresser to grab a ponytail holder. Next thing I heard was a thump and the water works came a flowin'.
I turned around and she fell face forward into the dresser. Poor baby. She cried for several minutes and she finally calmed down when she saw Star on her program. I checked her forehead and I didn't notice any bumps or bruises. Whew, in the clear.
Fast forward to 15 minutes later when we went into the kitchen to brush her teeth. Brian had taken Brody on a walk so he didn't no about her fall yet. While in the kitchen I noticed a dark area underneath her eye. The only light that was on in the kitchen was the light over the sink. I turned the kitchen light on and yep, she was puffy and clearly had a black eye. Oh, crap! Well, I said something else, but that's beside the point. Brian walked in when I noticed it. He held her while I got a cold rag with ice. She wasn't having that! I was able to keep it on a little longer while she played in the bathtub. I felt HORRIBLE!!
I know accidents are going to happen, but it just breaks your heart when things like this happen. Something that's preventable. If you watch The Little Couple and saw the last episode when Zoey fell while standing on the fireplace seat and got a puncher wound to the head and blood was everywhere, I just thought back to that. At least Vivian wasn't bleeding and thank God she didn't hit the eye itself. That could have caused a whole other issue. Vivian's guardian angel had her in his hands.
She woke up at 5:30 this morning happy as a clam. Eye wasn't swollen shut, just a little bruising. She seems to be okay. Doesn't seem to bother her if she rubs her eye...huge relief for Mommy!
Baby girl, I promise I'm going to try my BEST to be a better Mommy! I love you with all my heart!
