A Hole in the Wall

There was some excitement in the Anderson household this past week. In the moment, it felt a little more like turmoil. We experienced a new milestone about a week to a week and a half ago--Dustin rolling to his belly in the crib! Momma was mildly concerned at first, typical I think for most new mothers. However, that concern quickly grew and Daddy too joined the club when on Monday morning I went to wake up Dustin and his head was face first into the mattress. Perhaps this is something that a lot of newborns do, however; I could find nothing good in any of my books or on the internet about babies doing faceplants into the mattress. And so, at least for Momma, concern closer resembled panic.

In any event, we went to bed as usual Monday night. Around 2:00 in the morning, I heard the Angelcare monitor alarm sound. Tim bolted out of bed and ran to Dustin's room. Dustin was ok, he'd just rolled off the sensor. I was in our bedroom getting ready to go back to sleep while tim finished calming Dustin down,when I heard a loud crash. I ran into the hallway to see Tim laying on the floor and the hole in the wall! I think this was the scariest moment of my life! Tim was unresponsive, so I attempted to call 911, but the phone was dead! Tim started to snore and I was eventually able to get him to talk to me.

We think that Tim's blood pressure dropped, a rush of adrenaline and quick run from rest state may have caused him to pass out. So, we have all been sleeping in Dustin's room since Tuesday. We are greatly hoping to move back to our room soon, as neither of us are getting enough sleep!

I am very thankful that my two guys are doing well!
