It's been a long week...

...and it's not even over yet. Like I said before, Russ is out in the field. So, Gavin is all outta sorts since he hasnt seen daddy since, Sunday night? He was a pill today...it wasnt fun. He would scream for me to pick him up, and the second I did, he would scream for me to put him down. Baby logic....doesnt make sense. So then, in one of the rare moments when he decided to play, he fell. Not once, not twice, but three times. And all three times he hit a different part of his head on the coffee table...different parts. The first time, he caught his forehead on one of the few corners (Im still not sure how that worked out, but that's Gavin for you). The second time, he did some weird spin thing, and got the back of his head on the bottom. And the third time, he caught his eye on the handle for the drawer. So, he's got a bruise in the middle of his forehead, and quite possibly the back of his head. But the worst part is he's got the HUGE purple bruise in his eyebrow, and a cut under his eye. Ok, so it's not that big, and I'm probably just being dramatic, but it was a horrible moment for me. I couldnt stop him from falling, I could only watch in slow motion as it happened. And then there was no consoling him afterwards...he just wanted to cry. Not that I blame him, so did I. I feel that if I let some stranger look at him long enough, they'll think I'm abusing the poor boy. If you look, you can kinda see the bruise on his forehead. Man...it was a heck of a day. The only time he was happy, we werent in the house. That'll teach me.
On the plus side, Russ comes home sometime tomorrow. He said before 5. I hope it's really early. And, I have to go to the hospital for some lab work, the nurse said the results should be in in about 2 hours. So, hopefully things will go well. Again, more on the later..possibly tomorrow
