Worst Mom Ever...

Yep, that's me. Worst mom ever! So this week has been a little crazy. It started out on a very sour note. On Monday morning, I arrived at my mom's house to drop off Abby only to find out that I had apparently forgotten to tell them that they had her on Monday so Mom was still at the ranch and Marili had morning plans. So after this little discovery, I did the only thing I could do - headed to work with Abs in tow. She spent most of the morning in my lap and was actually pretty well behaved so I got work done. Then she had a bottle around 10:45 and started to get a little fussy. I assumed this was because she had not had her morning nap. Turned out, I was right. After some rocking, I finally got her to go to sleep in my arms. Since I was reviewing a lease, I was able to read with her on me and she was able to sleep for about 30 minutes. Then, in a stupid attempt to get some revisions done, I set her carrier in the chair next to me (I mean within 2 feet) and then placed her in it. She slept for maybe 15 minutes and then woke up ready to play. I gave her a toy and turned back to my revisions. Then, I heard a crash...

Down went Abby and the carrier landed on top of her. I turned to find her on the floor face down. As soon as I scooped her up, she started screaming at the top of her lungs and I assumed something was wrong. So I quickly calmed her down and then called the doctor to see what I needed to do. The nurse I spoke to was quite reassuring. She told me not to worry because this happens all the time whether it is a baby falling out of a car seat or off of a bed or some other surface. She said that since she had no apparent bruises, I should simply watch her and see if she behaves normally. Plus, I needed to make sure she didn't sleep for longer than 3 hours without me checking on her and waking her up. I thought I should probably head to the doctore anyways but by the time I got her in the car, the office was closed for lunch. So I rushed her home and called JB who also panicked and came straight home. We sat there and watched her for two hours until it seemed like she was fine. JB stayed home with her and I headed back to the office since I had to be off 1/2 day on Tuesday and all day Friday. She's apparently perfectly fine with no bruises, goose eggs or any other injuries and she has been behaving normally ever since. Of course I'm not fine at all and I feel like the worst mom ever because of what happened!
