The incident

Well, I had my first big scare since becoming a mommy. On Tuesday the new shower curtain I had ordered arrived. So I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a shower curtain rod. I came home and hung it up and marveled at how wonderful it looked.
Later that afternoon I decided to take a bath. I put Lucy in her bouncer(like I always do) and sat her next to the tub. I went back into my room for a split second when I heard a crashing sound followed by Lucy screaming. I panicked and ran in there to see what had happened. The rod had fallen down and was laying next to the bouncer, but I couldn't tell at this point if it had hit Lucy or just scared her. I picked her up and quickly inspected her. Luckily there was no blood, but her face was red from crying so I couldn't tell if there was a bump. I loaded her up in the car and called Brad and my mom. I wasn't sure what to do, I didn't want to take her to the emergency room and wait for hours and then be told it hadn't even hit her. My mom suggested I call her doctor's office, so I did. They said to bring her in and they would check her out. Of course, as soon as I got to the office she had fallen asleep which I thought was a good thing(and far better than screaming). The nurse informed more that in case of a concussion, I couldn't' let her sleep. Let me tell you how much she loved being woken up...
After giving her a thorough checkup, the doctor said she was fine and to get ready... because this was just the first of many more "incidents". Ha, I think I aged 10 years in that one day and earned a few more gray hairs!
