First Trip to Emergency
Hi Everyone,
I learned a very important lesson: babies become mobile FAST. We recently (2 days ago) rigged up Chloe's crib so that one of the sides is off, and the crib is pressed up against our bed, like a big co-sleeper. Well, I guess this is the first time Chloe has had any desire to get anywhere, because she started rolling back into the bed. However, she would only roll 2 times in a row max, so I still considered her relatively immobile...until today. I placed her in the middle of the bed while I ran into the other room for about sixty seconds, which is something I've never even thought twice about before. All of a sudden, there was a huge THUMP....followed by a frantic scream........there she was on the floor with a goose egg and rug burn on her forhead. I was scared because she was really sleepy afterward, so I took her to emergency, where they found everything to be okay...phew! I think I might put the side of the crib back up......

Thank you for your support, but I am afraid that I didn't quite carry on a family tradition, as Chloe willingly...although unknowingly, rolled off the bed herself - she didn't need any help from me in that department. Also, from what I have heard from several moms since then, it is a very common occurrance!
