Just a few hours after I wrote last, LO crawled over to the pantry. She plays in the pantry a lot, and we have things baby proofed in there so that she can only get a hold of boxes, bread, etc. I knew she was over at the pantry, and I got a text on my cell. I went to get my cell, which was also in the kitchen, and when I was about to read the text, I heard "CRASH" and then my LO screaming. Turns out, one of us had accidently put a jar of salsa on the shelf where LO could grab it. And she did. She pulled it down and it fell on her toe, and then broke. Her toe was bleeding and I scooped her up, took a look at it, grabbed paper towel, took her to the bathroom, and used anything I could to stop the bleeding. She didn't want me to put any pressure on it, so it was pretty hard to stop the bleeding. But eventually we got it rinsed and put a band-aid on it. I didn't really want to put a band-aid on it because it looked like it had ripped her toenail. I thought the band-aid would pull on the nail when we took it off, but I also didn't want it to be open, and not be able to stop it from bleeding. When we were finished getting her all bandaged up, I looked around and there was little drips of blood everywhere! On the kitchen floor, bathroom floor, towel, sink, etc. Poor little girl. Even in the middle of the pain and crying, she smiled and laughed when I stuck her toe under the water and made funny noises while I rinsed it off. She is a doll. She was in quite a bit of pain even after she was bandaged up. She kept crying which is VERY unlike her. I actually gave her .5ml of tylenol to help with the pain, although looking back on it, I wouldn't do it again. I don't think she needed it that bad. I was pretty sure her nail was cracked in half and that she might lose her toenail :( Oh yeah, did I mention that our second car broke down, and hubby had the car at work? FUN TIMES. I talked to my hubby, and when my mom found out, she sent him home from work and told him to take LO in to the hospital. I didn't really want to take her to ER, as it wasn't an emergency. I took to the net and researched a bit. It did say that if it was blue under the toenail, she should go into the dr because they would have to drain it. So I decided we'd take her into the walk-in clinic. I was totally nervous because really, it was my fault. I took my eyes off of her. But the doctor had a look and said no need for the glue, or to drain it. There is a cut right underneath the nail that would drain it for us :) So she sent us home with a prescription cream, and told us to soak her toe twice a day. She said there could be a fracture underneath, but didn't see the need for an x-ray, because they would do nothing for it if there was a fracture. I have a bit of a background in health, and I agree. Besides, she was standing on it before we took her in, so I was pretty sure we were fine.
Friday, Dec 17th: Hubby had to work late, so baby girl and I were hanging out at home. She really hasn't taken many steps since she took her first ones, and I hurting her toe would put her back a bit for sure. I was playing with her, and I stood her up and told her to come to me. She did! She walked over to me! So I did it again, and stood away from her, and she walked over, fell forward a bit, got back up, kept walking, fell forward again, got up again, and walked some more! I have this one on video thank goodness! SOOO Proud of her! Even with a cut up toe she started to walk! LOVE my baby girl!
Monday and tues I had to take her in to Daycare for some visits just to get her used to it. On monday when we first got there, she just sat there and watched everyone. Just taking it all in. By the end of the hour, she was playing with the toys and emptying the toy box LOL Tues it didn't take her any time at all. She started playing right away. By the end of that hour, she was pushing toys across the room. Yep, she was comfortable. hehe Tomorrow I have to leave her there for 2 hours by herself. I think she will be fine. Its me that will have issues. Not so much tomorrow though, because I have a TON of Christmas stuff to do... When I go back to work, that will be when I have issues.
Today, she slept till 8:30 after being woken up at 6:30 monday and tues so we could drive into town with hubby. She did not want to nap at all. I finally put her down at 1:20pm!!! That's usually the time she goes down for her SECOND nap of the day! HAHA I guess she's getting rid of her morning nap! Before she went down, she fell right in front of me, and hit the coffee table. Poor girl. Later on she fell backwards and hit her head on the floor. SERIOUSLY??? I couldn't do anything to stop either incident, but you feel like an idiot. When I was feeding her lunch, I noticed that there was a bit of red on her tongue. There is red peppers in what I was feeding her, so I thought that's what it was. I looked closer and it turns out that on one of those falls, she bit her tongue!! Crappy mom award is coming my way! Man.
