So remember yesterday?

[dizzycooks]

Today I was at the urgent care with the same child bc she smashed into wall and split her forehead open. bangs are cool right? #bucket list #scarredforlife I'm really rocking this Sahm thing...

[lala]

Oh no!!! Poor thing! How bad was it?

And you did nothing wrong!!

[momin2013]

Yikes! I'm so sorry! 

[quesyrah]

When it rains it pours, right? Hope things look up tomorrow!

[Deleted]

Oh no!! Not your fault, though. I'm sorry everything's happening at once, it must be a little overwhelming.

[lexus]

Oh no! I hope I things calm down.

[jag01]

Oh no. Did she have to get stitches or did they glue it? There are creams you can buy to help reduce scars.

[mamaalysson]

Oh no! Did she need stitches? I am sorry you are having a rough go of it. If it helps, I split my head open when I was 3, it was definitely far more traumatic for my mom than me...I have wonderful (drug induced) memories of the doctors and nurses all spoiling me rotten.

[Deleted]

Aw man, sorry!!! Stuff happens, it was probably worse for you than for her

[nicolewi]

Oh, man. So sorry. I'm sure she is fine now and I hope the weekend will be MUCH better!!

[dizzycooks]

She has three stitches. It was just over an inch long on her little forehead. I'm pretty sure I'm scarred for life. I'm usually pretty breezy about stuff and this just threw me. I'm sure being 9 days pp didn't help. It's no ones fault I know that, it's a lobby she's walked through since she learned how to walk and there's no reason for it other than maybe that she was tired from doing photos this morning. My head is killing me, I am totally over this week.

[Katiedid]

Hang in there! She'll bounce back quicker than you think.

Poor kiddo. Dd has a scar right below her hairline from stitches. The dr said to put a warm cloth on it for a bit then to rub vitamin e on it. It has drastically improved!

[cna]

Did I tell you about the time my kid stabbed himself in the foot? Or about how my other kid has a scar between his upper lip and nose from when he got a toy thrown at his face? It happens to the best of us and is usually more traumatic for us than it is for them.

[ashb62]

Oh man. I'm sorry, but I'm sure it was more traumatic for you than it was for her. Hope things calm down for you now!

[abs]

I'm sorry! You are having a rough go of it. Hope things look up soon.

DD tripped last summer when we were reading books and split her head open when she fell on her bookshelf. I felt like the world's worst parent and was just waiting for CPS to call. She needed 7 stitches and DH and I were so upset. DD was not. She screamed when it first happened and then was 100% fine. On the way to ER she chatted about the cool rainbow she saw and how she still wanted to finish reading books. DH and I were still shaking. For the next few weeks I just wanted to wrap her in bubble wrap, lol. The scar is fading now and she still talks about that night as just being cool because she was up late and saw a rainbow.

Well she slept like a champ and didn't bother the stitches. I hesitantly sent her to daycare today, but she's running around like her usual crazy self (scaring me to death of course).
I went down to clean the gerbil cage and found a dead gerbil and that its brother had started to eat it. Wtf??? I can't. I put a towel over it and dh will have to figure it out later.

Thank you for the kind words. It's good to know it happens to everyone.

[vettymama]

That's a hell of a week you've had. How's that baby girl doing? And how are YOU? Recovering well?

[dizzycooks]

I'd be better if my plan to watch the today show and sit on the couch had worked out a bit more smoothly. My recovery this time has been light years better than with my middle daughter though honestly. Dd3 is sleeping well so far and waking up regularly to eat and then going right back to bed. Frankly after the crap sleeper that is my middle child I'm in heaven.

[chatterbox]

You've had a nightmare of a week! Hope this coming week is uneventful for you and your girls!

[nicolewi]

Holy @#$!!! Now the gerbil!! Maybe that's the third thing (you know that saying about things coming in threes?) and now you are done with that crap.

[Deleted]

Thank goodness for a good sleeper, but seriously, what is going on with your week??

If it helps any, I felt like a calamity magnet after DD was born. Within the first few weeks my sister moved away, I got shingles (ouch!), DS fell and chipped almost half of his front tooth off, and had to have a temporary filling put on to protect the nerve, then he knocked out the filling.

Bad things are supposed to come in threes, right? So puking, splitting open her forehead and the gerbil makes three. No more misadventures allowed now!

[dizzycooks]

Poof!

[Deleted]

Aww, poor thing - but she looks pretty chipper, considering!
