So another day another injury for Essie. I just yesterday talked with Jill about transitioning out of the crib. She decided to climb out of her crib and boom there it is a big ole goose egg. Martha to the rescue arrived for support. Joel helped me focus once I started watching the goose egg grow… that was pretty freaky to see it happening before your eyes. Peds after hours was great of course and gave great directions on when to call back (if there was real trouble). [In a tone similar to that Old Spice commercial] and back to Martha…special thanks for company and taking care of all us girls this evening. Couldn’t do it without you!
This profile pic looks really gross when you can see it protruing. And Joel it wasn’t anywhere to this level when I called you.
So you might be asking… where is the little one sleeping. In a big girl bed. Due to Peds After Hours directions she went without a nap and just made it to 7pm. Then she fell as sleep in my arms and went straight to Adeline’s twin bed (after I had put the side rail up, that I had just taken down last week). Ahh! hopefully we will have a good night. We have lots of prayers covering us and I am thankful for that. Thank you God for your provision of this being something minor. Isn’t she cute. I think she is going to wear lavender to morrow so her outfit and bruise will match… and then in a couple days a nice yellow. Hmm… maybe they should make a line of clothing that is like bruise camo (purple, yellow, green). I think it would sell better for boys, but my Essie would have at least one outfit.

First the broken clavicle, then the broken radius, now a nasty bump on the head, this girl sure is going to grow up to be a tough girl!
Goodness! And still smiling. Some people are just mishaps waiting to happen - my brother is one, but rest assured, he is still thriving at age 33.
Glad she's ok and wears her badge of honor with pride.
Poor Essie!!!! I'm so glad that she is ok and that mom was there with you.. I'm sure that was stressful!! What a blessing to have great resources a phone call away. I love her big smile even with the big goose egg! What a trooper!
YIKES! that's one way to get into a big girl bed. She's looking happy tho :) We had a similar last week. G fell down our steps got up and ran into my jeep. bleeding and throwing up, apparently i shouldve taken him to ER? I had no idea, thank God he's ok, so... you're a good mommy!
Goodness! That is about the biggest I have seen, but she is still adorable even with a giant gooseyegg! Sounds like you did everything right, your girls are so blessed to have you for their mommy!
She is certainly one tough little girl!! Even with all the trauma, she didn't loose that precious smile!! :) Suzanne, you are earning your 'mama badge'!! :)
Just to add... The conclusion is that Essie hit a wooden box as she fell out of the crib and that is why this knot is larger than ones that happen when you hit the floor. Talk about more guilt when the reality of that detail sank in. Even more praises to God for protecting her!
