Happier note
I thought a happier post was needed after my last one. Here are just a few things that are making us smile lately:
- Smiling/Giggling: Julian has always loved to smile but the past few weeks another big development happened: he started giggling! Nana is really good at finding ways to bring out this new-found talent :) Mom and Dad still get the occasional giggle too, though!
- Curiosity: He is extremely interested in everything going on around him...a lot of times he wants us to move out of the way so he can focus on what's happening behind us!
- Grab/Touch: Julian loves to reach out his little arm and grab or touch different things. He loves touching the lamp by his changing table that has different pictures of sports on the shade.
- Feet: Obsessed with these. He loves to bring his knees up to his chest and grab his feet! Sometimes he'll laugh if you tickle them.
- Personality: this boy has a HUGE personality already! He knows what he wants and lets you know it! We can tell what he wants just by the sounds he makes and facial expressions. He loves to babble under his activity center or in the exersaucer. At the same time, he is very "chill" and has an easy-going personality as well. Perfect combo-just depends on his mood!
- TV: Don't judge. He loves Baby First TV. If you have Direct TV-highly recommend it. Lots of good shows for development. Trying to not have it on too much, but it does come in handy sometimes! Music channel has been a good substitute. (Kind of the same subject-he is starting to notice our cell phones-how crazy is that?! haha!)
- Sookie: Loves watching her! Especially when she starts rolling around and throwing her toys in the air. He thinks she's hilarious. They had their first "moment"last week and it was so sweet...he reached his hand out to touch her and she laid down and bowed her head for him to touch. She also licked his hands and he thought that was so hilarious! (don't worry, we washed them right afterwards)
- Tongue: Another new obsession. Loves sticking it out all.the.time. !!

Miracle
I contemplated writing about this, but I decided it was something I needed to do in order to move on and heal. I wouldn't be true to myself if I skipped over it like nothing happened and everything was just fine, because it hasn't been.
Monday afternoon our whole world came to a screeching halt. Josh and I received a phone call that no parent ever wants to get...Julian had an accident and somehow rolled a walker down 6 hardwood floor stairs and fell out of it at the bottom. (Take a minute to breathe...)
The moment I found out what had happened I was overcome with unimaginable fear, panic, anxiety...pain. My head felt like it was going to explode...I could hardly breathe. How could something like this happen!? Was he going to be okay?? A million "what if's"...and unthinkable images swam across my mind as I raced to meet my mother-in-law at the doctor's office. I could barely drive-everyone seemed to be driving so slow when all I wanted to do was get to my baby and hold him and make sure everything was okay. I couldn't stop crying...I couldn't stop thinking "what if"...I couldn't stop asking God for him to please, please wake me up from this nightmare and let my baby come out of this unharmed...I couldn't stop thinking about how scary it must have been for him...I've never felt so sick with worry...my body had an actual physical reaction to this stress and I've never experienced anything like it in my entire life...It's hard for me to even think back about this, so I am going to stop right here and leave it where it is.
The minute I saw Julian all I could do was hold him close and protect him. I felt some relief seeing that he seemed okay...we laid him down to check him over and Thank GOD he started smiling and cooing and acting like himself. The doctor looked him over and there were no signs of head trauma or internal injuries. It looked like he was going to be okay-the only visible sign was a small bruise on his right thigh so he had to get an X-Ray, but that turned up okay too. A true miracle.
I stayed home (my wonderful manager let me work from home so I could be around him) the past couple of days and everything seems to be okay. Things are back to normal now-I can't even think about what could have happened. God was absolutely watching over him that day. I am eternally grateful that he came out of all of this okay...all I've been doing these past few days is hugging and kissing my sweet, sweet baby boy and thanking God that he's okay...all of this is a huge reminder of how precious life is and to never take anything for granted, ever.
Here's a picture of him the day after the accident, acting cheerful and smiley! Our baby is okay!
