a first


We had our first big 'blood' incident as parents on Monday night. Jerame was playing as only Dad's do with the twins some kind of wrestling game and they had a little accident. Chloe fell flat on her face and bite her lip bad. I will admit I lost it for a brief while as she was in hysterics with a mouth full of blood. There was a lot of blood. The bleeding stopped quickly but initially it looked like she had bite through her lip with the amount of blood there was. But after the bleeding stopped we found it wasn't quite as bad as we originally thought. But since  it was on her face we opted to have it checked since it looked deep enough to possibly need stitches. So off we went to urgent care and luckily the Dr. thought that the wound  only looked  superficially deep and that she wouldn't need any stitches. So we were sent on our way and stopped to get Chloe an ice cream on the way home. 
 I am feeling like we need to ask if they offer punch cards at urgent care, the ER & our pediatrician's office. It seems like we are at at least 1 of the above on a weekly basis. 
Very thankful for medical insurance.  So other than a fat lip and a Daddy that felt terrible everything turned out just fine!

Oh no! Bet Jerame felt so bad! But Chloe looks good as new. I'm so feeling the same, Katie-we definitely need punch cards where you get a free bottle of wine at the end for dealing with these sick little kiddos! Love you all, have a fab weekend x
