We got an early christmas present today.... a high chair.
I dont wanna go in to too much detail as it still makes me sick to my stomach to think about it but Friday night we were getting Tally's dinner ready for her and she was in her bumbo ready, now we always feed her on the kitchen table as it's easier and she cant escape whilst we're there. Now obviously we both thought the other was watching her, turned our back for 2 seconds and she'd climbed out her bumbo and was off the table and on the kitchen floor.
It's actually the most scared i've ever felt, i wanted to take her to A&E immediately but within 5 minutes she was back to her normal self, we checked over every inch of her and there wasn't a mark on her. When she came in to bed with us at 1am i've never felt more relieved to have her there. And lo and behold there's not a scratch on her today either.
I know there's not much emotion is this post, basically i dont wanna express it as i know i'll start crying and not be able to stop, i feel so bad that we took our eyes off the ball for a few seconds and she could have been seriously injured.
I seriously underestimated my baby, and over estimated the bumbo, no way did i think a 5 month old would be able to escape it, it's basically rendered useless now as i cant even take my eyes off her in it on the carpet in case she gets out and hurts herself. I know she shouldn't have been on a raised surface alone but you dont think things like that will happen in the time it takes to walk to the fridge.
Never again will i wonder how my life would be if i'd not had her.
