We have been having fun this summer, but the leaves are starting to change on the mountain already. That means winter is not too far away. I am excited for Fall though. I want to try to take Landon to an actual pumpkin patch for Halloween. I think that would be fun.
I had the most scary experience of my life this last weekend. My sister had her girls over, and I was talking to one of them in our room. Nate stepped out for a minute but I thought he was going to be right back. All the sudden I realized Landon wasn't with us anymore. Next second we hear thumping down the stairs and then Landon screaming. I can hardly remember how it all happened, I remember starting to say oh my gosh over and over as I was trying to get out of our room. I fell down and hit my knee somewhere and somehow. I can just see Landon, Nate and my sister at the bottom of the stairs. I was screaming and bawling...my sister said go get his stuff and go to the ER NOW. So I ran back upstairs and grabbed Landon's diaper bag (which had nothing in it!) and the car seat. I mean I was hysterical. I just remember I grabbed the car seat first and my sister said grab the diaper bag and I threw the car seat at her...lol. Yeah I was just in a haze. So we got him in the car and in the driveway my sister grabbed my shoulders and said you need to calm down! Your baby needs you now so calm down, take a few breaths...so I tried too. She also said "do no let him fall asleep!" That was all he wanted to do. So on the drive to the hospital, Landon was a ghostly pale...I mean I have never seen him look more white. He kept falling asleep and I screamed at Nate, drive as fast as you dare, he is pale and won't stay awake! So Nate went 80 or 85 down the freeway, I just kept saying in my mind please be no cops. I was singing to Landon, trying to keep him awake.
We got to the hospital and of course there were a ton of people there. I went running in with Landon, bawling, and screamed at the lady please my baby fell down the stairs!!! So they got us checked in, but we ended up sitting for probably 20 minutes, trying to keep Landon awake. I just sat in the chair, tears running down my cheeks thinking over and over it's my fault...it's my fault. And please Heavenly Father let him be okay. After all it took to get us here, please don't let him be hurt...they got us back and in to a room. We didn't see a dr until probably close to 30 minutes later and at that point Landon was back to acting like his normal self. He had a red spot on his left forehead, but he was chattering, flinging his arms around...just acting normal. The Dr came in, checked him over and said he looked fine. I mean I was shocked. And I still can't believe he has no bruises...no rug burns, even the spot on his forehead faded by the next morning. I just know in my heart that Landon was watched over. There is no doubt in my mind about it. My Mom broke both of her arms falling down those stairs...so I know the potential. I know baby's are more flexible...but to have NO marks on him at all? Unlikely...
Nate slept by Landon's crib that night...I slept in the bed because my knee was about 3 times it's normal size at that point. I had an X ray the next day and so far it seems fine.
I am so thankful to my Heavenly Father for watching over our baby boy. I mean he is such a miracle...I have to feel that he has a purpose to fulfill here. I just cannot even express how close I have felt angels around us these past few days...
I am also so thankful for my Sister. I just can't even express how thankful I am that she was here. I am a huge believer that we are sent to earth at a specific time because I know my sister has been my rock SO many times.
