everyone says having a boy = er visits. well, we've had our first accident that mommy felt required a visit. it was about 7:30 am. matt was at work. jake had just woken up. we were doing our saturday morning routine where he goes from his crib to our bed for snuggle/cartoon time before we get our day started. there were giggles, tosses on the bed, pillow fights and lots of mommy and son fun. then it happened. he's on the floor and i hear him scream. i think for a second that he hit his forehead while trying to hide from me so i grab him and pull him close examining his head. within 5 seconds he's crying where he's not breathing. as i'm examining his forehead, the area of his nose between his eyes starts to turn purple and swell so big, i started to hyperventilate. he settled down but the swelling didn't. although he was "feeling" better after about 10 minutes and started jumping around some more, i wasn't taking any chances for permanent damage. off to the er he, my mom and i went while matt stressed at work and constantly texted for updates. final diagnosis after 4 hour wait: he's going to be fine. follow up with his pediatrician and possibly a nose, ear and throat doctor. i don't care if i have to wait 24 hours...as long as they tell me my kid is going to be ok!
