Luke's First Big Boo-Boo

Luke had his first big accident almost a month ago. We (Christy & Luke) had just gotten up for the morning, and he grabbed a piece of paper from his diaper bag and took off running with it. My first reaction of course was to chase after him. I was barely awake and didn't know what he had pulled out. Luke was running right toward our bookcase and fireplace...YIKES. He tripped and fell right in between the two, but ended up hitting his head on the corner of the bookcase. I think I did more screaming than he did. I was scared and frazzled. Those things people say about, "You'll know what to do when it happens," are just not true, at least not for me. I called John and had him rushing home probably thinking things were much worse than they actually were. In the end, Luke ended up with a pretty deep, but small cut and a swollen eye. Poor baby had a black eye for almost 2 weeks. We didn't take him in for stitches or anything, but judging by what the scar is looking like, he probably could've used them. Oh well....we'll know for next time.

The first big accident is always the hardest. It's no fun at all to see your baby hurt and sometimes I think it's harder on us than it is on them! I'm glad Luke's doing better and you survived this traumatic experience. If what I've heard about boys is true, many more such episodes are to come. I'm already trying to prepare myself for them and Noah's not even born yet! :) Take care!
