We all learned something this morning - I FREAK OUT when I see blood on my child. The first time it happened was when her umbilical cord fell off but she was only 6 days old and I was freaking out about everything at that stage. This morning Jeff had the lovely awakening at 5 am of me practically kicking in the bedroom door screaming get up, Allison's bleeding. I didn't wait for him to reach me, for some crazy reason I ran back to her bedroom with her in my arms I guess because that is where the only light was on so we could see. (Nothing makes much sense at 5am to me) Looking back now this was totally cruel to him because he had another few seconds to wait to see where the blood was. It was all over her mouth and drooling down her chin by that point. We got a washcloth, sippy cup and flashlight but couldn't really figure out where it came from. Guess I should clarify that Jeff got the washcloth, sippy cup and flashlight - I was in a frozen state almost crying myself holding on to her. I'm sure this whole scene description is common for first time parents and one that second time parents would laugh at. She does have a top molar only partially broken through so I'm guess that's all it was. She ate some breakfast just fine. And we sent her off to school. She may have a fussy day from getting up so early.
