Well the 2 Month checkup day was not my favorite. I ended up taking Kade for certain reasons and with him needing to go to the bathroom and Taylor screaming from hunger at the same time while the Dr. and I were attempting to have a conversation, I just knew this visit wasn't going to be pleasant. Taylor got 3 pokes which consisted of 5 shots and man she screamed her head off. She had also been having a lot of snot in her nose making it hard for her to breath and the Dr. told me to try some little noses or if I wanted I could make my own salt water and give her some drops at home. So we made it home and we had lunch and then I decided to put Kade in his room with a movie for nap time. Well I went to Taylor and gave her way too much water up her nose and she stopped breathing on me. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. I sucked with the bulb every part of her nose and throat and she finally started breathing. It felt like an eternity that she wasn't breathing and I honestly couldn't tell you how long it was. She didn't turn blue, but she was pale from the shock of it all. I don't know if I could ever forgive myself for what I did. I cried all day after that happened and I think I cried before it even happened actually. I truly feel like the worst mother out there. I ended up calling 911 for them to come check her and they said she looked perfectly fine, but I was hysterical. It was me they were worried about. At one point when she wasn't breathing I thought it was the end, I know that sounds terrible, but I was terrified. I thought my life was over. I thought I had hurt my beautiful child and all I was trying to do was help her to breathe better so she could sleep.
I wasn't going to blog about this, but I thought maybe I can stop someone else from doing the same thing, but I'm positive no one is as stupid as I am. I am so glad my baby is ok. Her and Kade are my life. Without them I could not live. And my great husband was so sweet and has made me feel better about what I did, but there is no excuse for making me feel better, what I did was the worst thing ever. I guess by me writing about it is a way for me to confess that I am not perfect as a mother or at anything else. I know now though that I will not do anything to my children unless I am 100% sure what I am doing.
Well back to my babies Stats:
Weight 12lbs. 1oz
Height 22"
Head Circumference 38.5cm
I love my babies more than anything and the last thing I would ever want to do is harm them. I would rather it be me any day then them. I want nothing more for them in their lives but for them to be HAPPY!
Oh Crystal! You poor thing! You didn't know that she would stop breathing (and I am sure it wasn't as long as it felt to you). You are an awesome mother! And the fact that you still called 911 speaks volumes about how much you care about your little ones! I love you! Calling you soon!
ReplyDeleteahh... amiga! Don't be so hard on yourself! Of course you would never do anything to harm your babies and it was a total accident! It probably even seemed worse in your mind. You are such a sweet mama!! Keep your head up :)
