09-4-2008 - ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN...

My mood while writing this blog: PARANOID

---

Well it was bound to happen...Aliyah had her first accident. Entirely my fault let me explain.It all started with Aliyah being fussy all night. I tried everything burping, nursing and rocking and nothing settled her down. Finally I decided to put her on the other side of me to watch some t.v. (big mistake) as she watched t.v and slowly stopped crying i began to rock her. Well i must of rocked both of us to sleep because the next thing I knew I woke up to her cries. I stared in the spot she should have been and for a second was confused as to why she was no longer there. I suddenly realized that my poor baby had fell of the bed and was now on the floor. I quickly scooped her up and apologized over and over. I was close to tears as i rocked her back and forth trying to console her. It didn't take long for her to quiet down and soon she started to become drowzy. Remembering something I heard I didn't allow her to fall asleep for one hour instead I played with her and checked for bumps and bruises.After the hour passed I changed her and fed her and this time put her on the inside facing the wall. But instead of sleeping i woke up every 20 min checking on her. I know this was just an accident but nothing can describe how a mom feels when she inflicts pain on her child. As Aliyah cried I felt terrible wanting to rewind the moment and smack myself for falling asleep. Thank God Aliyah's fine and everything seems to be okay. But I sure did learn a lesson besides not sleeping with a child especially sleeping with the child facing the floor, I learned that accidents will happen....and its up to the mom to learn from them.

Awww....poor you! I'm glad she is okay! Don't worry...my Mom did the same thing to me when I was a baby and I turned out okay! haha! Have you looked into the co-sleeper bed? We got one from Babies R Us and love it and use it all the time! Hope all is well!
