bad mother of the year award

Self-nominating myself on this one.

The Monkey is barely a month old. Like not even 5 weeks old yet. And, I've already called the ER about him.

He was hanging out on the couch with me last night. He was laying on a blanket. I was (finally) eating my dinner. I spaced out for 3 seconds.

He rolled off.

And, hit the floor.

The hardwood floor.

Yeah, I suck. Of course, it had to be during the 10 minutes Hubby was actually home and was able to witness my failure. He freaks out and so we call the ER. To which my guilt and his panic was met with the answer of "I can't see him through the phone. Do what you feel is right." Not the most reassuring.

It's been 24 hours and The Monkey seems to be fine. He's acting like his normal 1 month old self. Who knew 1 month old babies could roll? He was on his back which is harder than starting from his tummy. Obviously, my child is crazy advanced. Hopefully, this incident won't eliminate him from MENSA.
