Aidans first boo-boo.

Poor baby. He learned to sit up today. Unfortunatly, he was in his swing when it happened. I sat him in, took a step, grabbed a jar of food, turned around, and boop! there he went. gawd, I always strap him in. always. I forgot. and he bonked his little noggin. two little lumps, about as big as pennies, on either side of his head. He cried his eyes out for a minute, but he got better quick. I checked his little limbs, used a flashlight to check his pupil responses, and he seems happy, but, gawd, I feel like a terrible mom. he is his happy, smily self, but I called the nurse line, and they said to do the typical head injury routine, wake him up after his first 2 hours asleep, then every 4 hours today and tommorrow.
Lucas was freaked out too, and had a hard time falling asleep. I almost had a panic attack, shaking, bawling, all of it. I went to set him in his swing for a minute tonight, after he had fallen asleep, so I could make the bed, and he woke up, and freaked out. maybe he'll forgive me someday. I think he blames the swing too. "Darn thing! You moved away from my butt! You're supposed to move with me!"
GAH!
