Worst Mom In The World

This week we had two incidents that won me the Worst-Mom-In-The-World award. I'll tell you about the not-so-tragic one first.

Will has pink eye...again. He got it about a week and a half ago, we gave him antibiotic eye drops twice a day for 5 days and it seemed to go away. Then this past Saturday, he woke up with 2 goopy eyes again. The doc had given us a new prescription and "said" he was putting us on the same stuff as last time, so we got it filled and continued our twice a day drop routine. By Tuesday, the poor guy's eyes were the goopiest I had ever seen and the kid slept ALL DAY...literally. He just would not wake up! On Wednesday I was getting ready to take him back to the doctor and decided to double check the prescription. Ummm...yeah...not the same stuff. Apparently the doc gave us a different type of antibiotic drop and this one needed to be administered every 3-4 hours!!!! No wonder his eyes were getting worse! We were only giving it to him twice a day! I was so mad at myself for not doublechecking. That's what I get for assuming!

Now for the tragic incident........which I am seriously traumatized by. This morning Will fell off the couch. He got up at 5am and we were laying on the couch with a fresh bottle. At some point, I must have fallen asleep...which is fairly common these days considering Lili has been waking in the night too. Anyway, I had him cradled in my arm laying next to me eating and next thing I know I hear..."Boom! Wah!!!" I flew up off the couch and found him laying flat on his tummy on the floor. I about died. He ended up crying for a couple of minutes...then vomited up what I'm pretty sure was the entire 3 oz he had just taken (most likely due to the scare)...then was his typical smiley self after that. I just keep thinking about how many times I held both of my babies like that in the middle of the night for a feeding..."thinking" that I had a good hold on them... Granted, it was only about a foot and a half off the ground, but that's still a long way for a little guy like Will! I feel sick... I cannot believe it even happened.

Just a couple of indicators for you on the type of week I have been having!
