This morning has been kind of rough. Emalyn was in the tub (after a blow-out in her crib) and as I was washing her, she tried to stand up and slipped. It wasn't a big fall (she was still sitting-just leaning forward) but bumped her mouth nonetheless. Add to it the pain of teething (she's let us know just how painful teething is the last 4 nights!) and she screamed for a little while. I didn't see any blood, so I thought all was good and then later saw her gums. Poor baby!Later I was shutting our vertical windows and because they are tall and old, they don't slide well. Well, I started to slide one and the top tipped forward and stuck, so I had to push it back to upright position with my left and push at the base to close it with my right hand. Oh, and you have to exert some force as well to shut them, and as you can see I didn't get my hand off the top fast enough. After 2 hours of really intense pain, and not being able to move it, I reluctantly agreed to go to Urgent Care. Luckily it's not broken, and ice and advil seem to help a little.
Unfortunately, right now it hurts to lift anything with my left hand, Emalyn thinks it's a toy, and I've already hit it on something and came close to crying. It's going to be a long week until this heals...

Oh, no! I hope your hand feels better soon and that Emalyn gets better quickly. Good Luck with the teething thing. Abbi cut 4 teeth these last 2 weeks, so I can totally sympathize w/ the night time wakings! Ughh! We'll pray for things to go better for you.
Ouch, that looks painful..for both of you. Last week Gabi hit her mouth on the back of Maggie's head and had the same thing! :(
