Tough Weekend

This weekend was a rough one as far as parenting goes. I got sick thanks to Kagun, he knows I blame him, he brought it home. So Saturday was spent trying to entertain Charlotte but also trying to rest. Luckily for me I had a very chill baby who was all for napping with momma. Then came the worst part of the weekend...Kagun was getting her ready for bed Saturday night when Charlotte decided to roll off her changing table. Those who have been to our house know that we have cement floors with rugs in most rooms. Luckily, Charlotte's is one of those rooms. She at least had a little padding between her and the cement. That was the worse feeling to know that my baby had fallen and there was nothing that I could have done to stop it or her pain. Her crying broke my heart. Parenting in these moments is by far one of the toughest jobs. You have to just hold them and love them with no ability to take that pain away, as much as you want to. I now have a glimpse into what my mom was talking about when she was watching me in labor. The good news is Charlotte is just fine. We started to get her checked out but then decided that she was acting like herself and didn't have any marks or dents, so we went home. The night was rough between being sick, not wanting to leave her alone, and her waking up crying, but by morning she was back to being our happy smiling girl. We then spent the day as a family, which was nice, even if Kagun and I are both sick.

It's funny but as much as I don't want Charlotte hurting, it is nice when she wants to snuggle and be held. She's not a cuddly child normally. I appreciate the moments when I can comfort her or just give her that extra squeeze. I know the moments are fleeting and she will grow up quickly.
