Perspective:)



This little lady means the world to me! My girls are my whole heart and there is nothing i would not do for them. On Sunday i felt like my world came crashing
down, even if it was just for a moment, i will still forever have a new perspective on life.
Berkly is rambunctious to say the least. Always running and always climbing. She pulled herself up on a kitchen chair at my moms house when we were over there for dinner after church. She has done it a million times. I was not paying too close attention to it because she seemed fine. Tara was standing a few feet away and i was on the couch about 10 feet away. Well she fell backwards off the chair onto the hardwood floor. She hit her head
pretty hard and i ran over to love her. Tara picked her right up and handed her to me. She was crying much harder than i expected, since she is usually a tough cookie. I first thought she may have bitten her tongue. I couldn't hear her crying anymore, it was like when they are are about to let out a big scream and you are just waiting for it to come. Well i looked quick at her mouth, no blood.. Then as i panned up to look at her eyes they were rolling into the back of her head. Her body was stiff and i started freaking out.. I had NO idea wh
at to do i just started screaming and my mom called 911.. She was not breathing.. It felt like a million years.. I knelt down on the ground and her face was completely drained of color.. pale as i have ever seen it and her lips were turning purple.. In those seconds i entirely felt like my baby was dying in my arms. She was just staring at me at that point, still no breathing.. I breathed into her mouth and that seemed to start things up.. It may have happened without my help, i don't know. She probably just knocked herself silly and the wind out of her. It was soo scary though. At that point i was hysterical and shaking. Poor Berkly just stared at me.. she would cry at moments and then really calm. I am sure her head hurt.
We had the paramedics come still and they checked her out. They cleared her but we still ran her up to the hospital to have
her checked out again.. Even thinking about those few moments now i get really upset. Everyone there was pretty shaken up.. She was back to herself in about
30 minutes. I am still a mess..:) I didn't sleep at all Sunday night. I was checking on her all night long.

Kiss your babies!
I get so busy with school and meaningless stuff that sometimes i don't spend the time i should with the girls and i have vowed to change that.



On a lighter note we got a kitty.. Dorothy.. Malia is still obsessed with Wizard of OZ... The girls LOVE the kitty

I had no idea. I am so sorry. You are right. We need to not worry about all of the little things at work that make our blood boil and remember the reason why we get up every morning. You give that sweet baby of yours an extra love for me.

I teared up a little with that story. Stories like that always scare me so bad. I'm glad she turned out to be fine...but what a few scary minutes. I would have lost it, completely. Thanks for the reminder of how precious these little ones are.
