50% goose down, 50% giggling husband
So I trudge upstairs on Saturday night after a lovely evening shower (nothing like showering at night for a good clean night's sleep!), anxiously anticipating crawling into freshly-laundered sheets and resting my head on freshly-laundered pillowcases. I'd sent Joel up ahead to make the bed with said sheets, a task which included the sometimes-onerous task of putting the duvet cover back on the comforter. And I'd taken a nice, long shower so I knew he'd have plenty of time to get the bed made.
So I round the corner at the top of the stairs, only to see Joel's upside-down head peering at me from INSIDE the duvet cover.
"This is harder than it looks," he says, still upside-down.
Yup, he'd crawled inside the duvet cover, comforter in hand, to try to make the dang things fit together... and thought it might work to push the corners in with his toes while holding the opposite corner with his hands... and gotten lost amid the yards and yards of white and blue fabric.
I'm not really sure how he got out -- I was laughing too hard.
Whoops, there goes gravity
Argh! I dropped the baby last Wednesday. OK, she actually fell but it was totally my fault so I'm calling it a drop. I had her upstairs while I was changing clothes after work, and she's so FAST I didn't want her just crawling around up there because the stairs are right around the corner, and very steep. So I put her on the bed... bad idea. I turned away for seriously one second and THUMP she'd slipped right off the edge, forehead first. She screamed like a banshee -- fortunately, everything I read said that if she was screaming that loud she was probably totally fine. Thank goodness Jean the Nurse was coming over and was able to proclaim Lucy concussion-free almost immediately. Man, what a terrible moment in a mother's life. Lucy has bonked her head on much harder surfaces before -- she tips over in her crib a lot, and toodles right into walls sometimes, but this was the first time she'd actually fallen. Well, lesson learned.

There should be some law against quoting Eminem in blogs.
Meg I really hate to be your reminder, but you have a toddler and soon to be infant. Sometimes now that there are two to talk about I get confussed when you say baby.

Jara, I hate to be YOUR reminder that I have not given birth to #2 yet!! Now, how can I drop a baby I haven't even birthed. :) :) Also, Lucy just barely attained Toddler status on Friday and she was still The Baby until that point. :)
Becky, you're probably right. :)
