before Noah hurt his sister. He flipped the coffee table over on her. OMG. I was freaking out.
We were playing, Noah and I, running around and he went into the living room and was watching CARS and I was standing by the kitchen. Makynzie was laying on her boppy on the floor. I saw him grab the table and lift it and it just happened so fast. It was like it happened fast but I was moving in slow motion. I couldn't get there quick enough. The side of the coffee table hit the floor and the flat top part rolled over the top of her. Thank God she was in her boppy and not just laying on a blanket or something. I grabbed the table just as it rolled over her and picked her up right away. I think the boppy took the majority of the impact. I checked her out (I was certified as an EMT a few years back so I have some training) her pupils were dilating normally, she has no bumps or bruising and she didn't react in pain to me checking her body. I even called my mom and her and my dad asked me the same questions and said she'd probably be okay but just keep an eye on her.
Talk about a heart attack. She is doing fine now. She cried for a bit but it sounded more like a cry of being scared more than a cry of pain. And I'm still not seeing any injuries. She is just acting very snuggly, wanting me to hold her, which is fine with me. She needs it, poor thing.
Needless to say, the coffee table is no longer in the living room.

Awwww, hugs Tarra!
OMG Tarra!
How awful Tarra.
I know Noah didn't fully understand what he was doing and was probably still caught up in playing but I was still furious with him. I calmed myself down, especially when I saw that she seemed to be okay.

Oh no, Ana, I'm not saying I thought you implied that. I was just relating how easy it was to be furious at Noah for doing that. I just had to remind myself that he didn't do it on purpose.
But all is good today. Makynzie had a good night, slept good, and I kept my eye on her and made sure she was moving normally and stuff. She's happy as a clam today, still with no bumps or bruises. Whew! *wipes brow* My heart can't take that kind of close call!
