SHOTS AND BRUISED GUMS

So the last 2 days have not been so good for my sweet Little Bug. Yesterday, after a very nice family day, Piper was playing with the dogs water (which is usually put up for this very reason) and she slipped and fell. I'm not sure if she hit her mouth on the actual dog bowl or the ground or both. What I am sure of is that her entire mouth was bleeding. Yikes! After careful examination ( and I do mean careful because she was not letting me very close to it to see ), I found a cut inner lip, small cut on the bottom gum right near her new bottom teeth and a VERY large purple and VERY bloody upper gum. I immediately panicked (not letting Piper see of course) and called the on call Nurse at the Pediatricians office. She assured me it was just bruised and to give her a popscicle (which I had none of) I did however have frozen bananas (don't ask me why, because I don't recall freezing the bananas,but I did ) so she ate those. I checked for chips, and loose teeth which she had neither of.

Today, the upper gums look even worse and it looks like her tooth is rotting out of her head. We went to the Dr. today for some shots so I had him check it out. He said what the nurse said, just bruising and it should be good in a few days. Evidently the gums are protecting her tooth which is not out yet so the Doc was not to worried, he said she probably mostly hit her gums and not the actual tooth. Yay! but it still looks pretty bad to me.
Piper got her 1 year shots today and was a very brave girl! Even the nurse commented on how she didn't even cry. She did cry for about 2 seconds on the last shot but was quickly calmed when I showed her my wallet and let her take out her Daddies credit card (this makes me happy and calm too) We than went home and slept for 2 hours than played and when I left for work she only had a slight fever. All seemes good (I however am freaking out from the paperwork they gave me to read about the side affects!!!!!! Sometimes less information is better )


We have pictures to post from Pipers Birthday party this weekend! I will be getting to that this week.

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY LITTLE GIRL!

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY PIPER! One year ago today at 5:33am Piper Brielle Baskett was born, 5.8 llbs and 17inches long. She is everything we dreamed and prayed for and everything we didn't even think to dream and pray for. She is always happy, such a good sharer, very silly, a good peek-a-boo player, a very fast runner, an all around great baby. She brings joy to our days like nothing can. We can't believe a year has gone by since we first looked at her sweet little face in the hospital. We hope the rest of our years are as easy as this one and hope that they don't go by nearly as fast. We cherish every day she runs to hug us and falls asleep in our arms because before we know it she will be all grown.

We love you so much Piper. Happy 1st Birthday Baby girl!
