[quote=Anonymous]Umm, so when my child was 2 weeks old, he was sleeping in bed with me and scooted (he was a tummy sleeper) right off the bed head first. I thanked God our carpet was thick and the bed was only a foot and a half off the floor.

Another time, he was about three months and dead asleep on my bed. I had put pillows to each side of him so he couldn't roll toward the edge of the bed, went to the bathroom and heard the THUMP and wailing child as I was washing my hands. He had "crawled" over the pillow. He started really crawling at 4 months...needless to say, he is no longer allowed to sleep in my bed. He's totally healthy and happy and even a little advanced developmentally, hence the crawling at 4 months.

My friend had her 5 month old strapped in her snap n' go, on top of the washer while doing laundry and it fell off. Little girl had a bump on her head, friend took her to the ER, she was fine.

A mom I worked for (as a nanny) DROPPED both of her sons when they were infants (not twins, years apart). They both jack-knifed out of her arms. Both of them were fine.
Sh*t happens. Don't beat yourself up.

I've been a nanny for 10 years and a mom for 1. I figured I'd have it easy, and for the most part I do. But still, there are those moments when I wonder why I ever thought it would be easy raising a little person 24/7. I may have been more prepared for motherhood because of all my experience, but you can never REALLY be prepared for the emotional or financial parts of it. You just do the best you can and love your baby. You are not the first mom that's had this happen, you wont be the last.[/quote]
