My poor little one!


I know now as a mom of two what people say when they allude to getting gray hair from their children! I am surprised that my whole head isn't covered with it. In the four short years I've been a mom, my kids have already put us through a number of things. I can't help but get a little nervous about another one on the way, I suppose it will only get worse. The other night I was coming home from work when Jed called and asked how soon I was going to get home. I told him in a few minutes, why? He told me that Gracie had fallen and was pretty hurt. Of course all the worst things go through your mind. Do we need to go to the hospital? I asked, he said he didn't know yet. Automatically the foot hits the gas and I rush home. When I walk in my poor baby was lying in her daddy's arms, his entire shirt covered in blood. She tripped and fell hitting her mouth. She chipped her front tooth and completely ripped up her gums. It took quite a long while to stop the blood. We took her to the dentist the next day, but we were lucky and found out that the gums will heal and the chip didn't expose the nerve so...she will just have a smile full of character now! Talk about a feeling of de ja vou, when Gabby was three she fell on a bookshelf at Grandma's and knocked her two front teeth in half. After a surgery and a hefty bill she has a nice set of caps on her teeth. They really should find a way to put kids in bubbles:) I don't know how much I can take!!
