She screamed and cried for probably 30 seconds, but looked okay. But I was freaked out and we left for the ER. She seemed fine while we waited, and when they were getting her heart rate and all that she was even giving me gigantic smiles, which made me feel much better. They said she seemed fine. She really doesn't even have a mark anywhere. I just freaked out because she's so small and Cason is SO dang heavy. So then I cried the rest of the night, partly because it's the worst when your babies get hurt, partly because I felt bad for not watching closely after I put her down, and partly because I felt bad for Cason, since he probably just thinks I was abusing him for no reason. Ugh. I was sick to my stomach the rest of the night.
Here she is today, without even a bruise.

Now each kid has had one trip to the ER. Awesome. Hopefully she just got it out of the way early, and we'll never go again. Actually we probably will go, because apparently I'm paranoid, because every time we've gone they've looked them over and told us everything was fine.Anyway, she continues to be a sweet happy girl, and turned a month old on Friday. She's an 11 pounder now!
Today she had a serious look on her face and Paige goes "She looks like a bad guy." Haha.

That is the worst - I'm so sad you had such a stressful/bad time! And I know just what you mean about that stomach hurting bad mom guilt - that you shoulda/coulda/woulda done better for any of them. But I'm SURE the everyday is better, none were hurt, and you're an AMAZING mom. Seriously, AMAZING.
We were outside of Sirens, and I spent the time pre-parade trying to keep Minuet from tripping on a step or a rock. She's at that toddler point - wanting to walk but not so stable you want her on concrete without bubble wrapping (ha). She only hit her face once, on blanket over concrete, not realizing there was a step up. Sad for a minute. Life is so full of these opportunities for accidents. My mom always joked she wanted us in bike helmets 100% of the time - and now I understand she was totally not joking. Ha!
Oh I'm glad she is ok..You are a good momma! I can totally relate to worrying about your little ones. That doesn't go away..Fevers all that stuff drive me crazy! I can not believe it has been a month already! Wow..she is so precious.
Poor little Neely! I can only imagine how horrible you must have felt. Accidents happen...unfortunately. I'm just glad the little baby doll is ok. She's so pretty!
Thanks guys. It was so horrible, but apparently babies are WAY tougher than we give them credit for. I already knew that, but geez, a 30 pound boy can step on her head without causing her any real damage?
