My Baby Fell Off The BED!!

I was having the most wonderful deep sleep that I have had since Brooke has been born, and then all of a sudden I hear a clunk, Brooke scream and Jason saying "no, no, no!" Jason had brought Brooke to me earlier so she could eat, but apparently I was so out of it, I totally forgot she had ever been brought to bed with us. A few hours later I didn't think she was in bed and wasn't trying to protect her from a fall (normally I snuggle her really close, have an arm around her or some kind of barrier when she is in bed with us because she is a roley poley and she will get up and start crawling in her sleep) but I didn't have her protected at all. She was on the side of the bed, and at 6 a.m she fell of my very high bed. I felt like the worst mom ever! How could I not remember my baby was in bed with me? Jason said she had been crying or fussing for like 10 Min's before she fell, and I didn't even know that! Thankfully after some cuddling, a feeding and a little bit more love she was smiling within a few minutes of it happening. I checked her out and she had no injuries whatsoever. This baffles my mind! I know someone was watching over her because we have a high bed and there is just no way that she wouldn't even end up with a bump or bruise anywhere. I am so thankful Heavenly Father protects our little children and keeps them safe when we fail as parents. I am so glad nothing is wrong with Brooke, and she is smiling, happy, and being her normal self. Brooke for the record, Mommy is very sorry that I let you fall, and I am so glad you are a very quick to forgive baby. I love you -

Oh Nat, it happens to the best of us!! You are so cute. What a good mommy you are. Parker fell off the bed when he was 4 months old and I felt like the worst mom ever. Now when he falls off the bed he doesn't even care. oh and your family pics are so beautiful! Can't wait to see you guys!

God in his infinite wisdom has made babies out of rubber. I'm convinced!

It is so horrible when they fall though. Frannie never fell, but Adam did and it sure is scary! I'm glad we have carpet.

Glad baby girl is ok!

Oh Natalie, I believe it happens to every child. It happened to Kennedy and I am counting on it happening to Cams too at some point. Thank goodness for their soft little bones and angels watching over them!

I can totally relate! I was so worried when Mckenna rolled off the bed, I called her pediatrician. He assured me that babies are bouncy, and she would be fine. You are a good mom! Sooner or later it's bound to happen to all babies.
