My baby has a shiner!

[rbnyc]

OK, getting mentally prepared to go home and see my baby. Hubby and sitter both say that I will freak out.

Before the sitter came today, hubby took baby to his practice space to pick up some equipment. "I turned my back for one second..." Those infamous words. And a Gibson fell off the wall onto baby's head.

Baby is fine. But he has a shiner and a fret bar impression on his face.

Hubby feels TERRIBLE.

I was warned by both hubby and sitter that I will cry when I see the baby, but it looks worse than it is.

No stitches, no concussion. Baby's temperament is normal, eating playing, laughing, getting into everything.

Baby's first shiner!

Poor baby.

1. Down here, that means he has a beer!

Either way, not good. :)

Poor baby.

[rbnyc]

3. LOL!

That's funny!

2. Aw.

Glad he's okay.

Hope you are, too. ;)

[rbnyc]

4. Thanks.

I'll find out in 6 to 8 weeks if I'M ok.

5. Baby was just christened by rock and roll

not a bad thing at all.

Kiss the boo boo better and apply arnica gel if it's not too close to the eye. Otherwise apply lukewarm black tea bags. I'm not an eye doctor but my sister who is one, recommends it to draw out infirmaties and reduce inflamation.

7. Cool. Thanks.

OK. Going home in one minute!

:hi:

Bye.

6. Whoops

Christened into ROCK!

10. Right now yours stays where you put her.

She's in baby-blob stage. Wait til she can run around!

The first time she ever gets hurt is devestating too.

Congrats again. She is beautiful.

16. Yeah I know this is the blob stage

and I thought the cats were a tough :crazy:

8. Baby can say later that he was

"Knocked by ROCK!"

or "struck in the soul by ROCK AND ROLL"

Either way, you know he's going to start a rock band now

[rbnyc]

12. Yep. Right now...

...he mostly likes drums and key boards.

A woman at the guitar center tried to sell him a ukulele the other day, but I think we'll wait til he's at least 2 or 3 for that.

9. His first time to get whacked with a guitar? A rite of passage!

[rbnyc]

15. It's a case of...

...looking at the cool side.

:)

[BikeWriter]

19. I know you're right.

[Spinzonner]

11. Don't take any pictures

or somebody might see them and get Social Services after you.

It's that kind of world.

[rbnyc]

13. No doubt!

I'm worried about taking him to the park tomorrow!

[Dave Reynolds]

14. Katelyn here feels for him,

[rbnyc]

17. Aw!!!

So cute!

OK. I'm going home right now.

Thanks everyone!

:hi:

18. Man, it does me proud to see another generation of Rocker

breaking shit with a guitar. Next time I hope it ain't with the old head.
Seriously though, I'm sure the baby is fine. BEst wishes and don;t cry too much, babies are tough.

[iconoclastic cat]

20. Wow, and Gibson guitars are pretty solid. Ouchie!

Poor kid.

[HEyHEY]

21. Well, if he ever becomes a rock start you'll have a good story to tell
