Stitches

It's official....I am the worst mom ever!!! Last night I was feeding Camden around 3 am. I went in to check on the girls and Addie was awake and needed to go potty. So I took her potty and then tucked her in. About 3:45 Addie came into our room because she hadn't fallen back asleep yet. She came in to tell me she loved me and then was headed back to bed. On her way out of our room she tripped and fell into our dresser. I picked her up and calmed her down and felt around her face to make sure she was ok and then carried her back to bed. Keep in mind that it is 3:45 am, it is dark, and I am very sleep deprived....Around 7:30 the girls woke up and came into our room...Addie is saying that she needs to go into the bathroom to wash her hands because they are all dirty and Macie is saying, "dad!!! look at Addie's face, she is all bloody." So he gets up and takes her into the bathroom to check things out and that is when I hear him say "Addie we are going to have to take you to the dr. This owie needs some stitches." It is at this point that I get out of bed to check out the damage. Sure enough, she had a nice gash right above her left eye and it was deep and still bleeding. She had dried blood all around her eye, with blood down her neck and all over clothes and all over her bed. It was exciting!!! So, Geoff took her into the Dr. office and they gave her 4 stitches. Geoff said that she did amazingly well. She cried when they gave her the shots but held completely still and then she was all quiet and still when they were sewing her up. We were expecting them to have to strap her down and have a ton of nurses in there to help. They said that they were shocked at how good she did and that she was one the best patients they have ever had. So now she has 4 stitches and sports a princess bandaid. She has been great about the whole thing and does really well with not touching it. I feel awful that I sent her to bed with this, and didn't even notice it. I didn't notice it because when I was holding her, I had her bloody head against my shirt and was feeling the wrong side of her head. So when I woke up my shirt was bloody as well. What a fun thing for us to look back on!!
