Preface: I hate to share this story because it makes me feel horrible but after talking to other parents about it...It's happened to everyone. In fact when I called my mom she said "you did the same exact thing".
Presley was extremely cranky all day and just wanted to be held every second. I finally sat her on the bed for two seconds so I could change out of my pj's and then next thing I hear is a thump...thump....SCREAM. She used her legs and pushed herself off of the bed. When I got to her she was face up and crying. I picked her up and I immediately panic and kept repeating "i'm so sorry Presley", holding her as tight as I could. Called Zane. I couldn't even talk I was so upset. All I could see was a red spot above her left eye but no swelling. I check all of her limbs and nothing is broken.

Not even 5 minutes later she was waving her arms and smiling. She's perfectly fine. But it was so scary! Zane came home to check on us because I was mess. I'm not really sure how I got so lucky to be with him, he keeps me sane. After that I wouldn't let her out of my arms and everything could wait. It was a huge reality check. In fact the laundry and cleaning still hasn't been done.

And on a side note that garlic lime chicken that I was making was horrible WAY too salty. I'll let you know what I try next.

Aww.. erica! You are a wonderful mother! The SAME thing happened to me, only Leighton fell off the changing table when she was 8 months old. I freaked out too. Babies get bumps and bruises, it just seems to hurt us more :-)
Yep! Happened to me too... About two months ago, Preslie plunged over the side of the bed face first, did a flip and landed on her back. Not even ten minutes later, she stumbled and banged her head on the baseboard--both within arms reach of me. We both cried, and the dog even peed on the floor (which he NEVER does). I was a wreck, too, and checked the monitor every five minutes through her entire nap.
You ARE a wonderful mother!!!!! Think it, feel it, believe it!
