Yep.... it's time to share our OOPS! or DUH! moments with others so those of us who are not perfect know we're not alone.
For the first two weeks of Liam's life, I was scared to put him in bed with me because I was a very deep sleeper before I had him. I knew I wouldn't sleep as soundly on the couch, so I slept there with him on my chest. I actually managed to swaddle him and KEEP him swaddled one night when I went to sleep. Well, let's just say the swaddle made him a bit more cylindrical in shape and he fell off the couch when I shifted my position. He started crying and I felt HORRIBLE. He wasn't hurt at all and just picking him up and snuggling him for a few seconds calmed him down, so I'm sure there will be no lasting trauma for him, but I think about it every day. He could have landed on his head or something!! Anyway, that was the last night we ever slept on the couch... we've been in the bed every night since.
