just as percy was about to get into her bath last nite she missed her hold on the edge of the tub and cracked her mouth on it instead. poor little baby had a bloody mouth and massive scream. we couldn't see where the blood was coming from but think it was probably her upper lip because it did look a bit swelled afterwards. to her credit she stopped screaming after only 3 or 4 minutes, the blood soon stopped and she enjoyed her bath. didn't we feel like incompetent parents?
she hasn't gone to child care all this week. paul and i have been tag teaming who gets to stay home to wipe the snot away and try to soothe the coughs. i was home monday, paul was home yesterday and we're doing a half day each today. she is definately getting better but we think she won't get the same care at child care as at home plus she'll probably get sicker.
we're going to wollongong tomorrow, for the nite. the idea is to have percy's grandparents look after her while paul and i go out. i'm fully expecting it not to work; to end in screams and tears- not necessarily from percy. but i have no choice so that's it. on the up side if it is all okay i'll be happily surprised with potential future baby sitting opportunities. i'd rather be completely miserable about it now with the option for it to get better, than to expect all love and light and be completely let down.
