Scary, scary night!!!!
We had quite a scare with Miss Olivia tonight!! Something I never want to experience again!! Shane had gone to poker, so it was just her and I. She ate dinner at her normal time, and everything was going just fine. Then, after her bottle, she was just playing on the floor and actually was playing with her bottle that she just drank. I wanted to wash it out, so I grabbed it from her and she instantly got so mad. She started crying, almost to the point that she couldn't catch her breath. But, trying to do the Mom thing and let her know that she could not always get her way and get what she wants, I did not give it back to her. And, I walked into the kitchen to wash it out. Well, I didn't even make it to the sink and I realized I couldn't hear her cry any more. It was all of a sudden, and she was silent. So, I ran back in the living room and there she sat in the same spot, mouth wide open and she couldn't catch her breath. She has done this before, and it just takes a second for her to let out a cry. However, this time, she did not. For whatever reason, she was not able to get a breath. I instantly picked her up to try to do something, but she started turning blue in the face, her lips and her mouth!!!! I was hysterical and didn't know what to do!!!! Then, her body went limp in my arms!!!! It was only a few seconds but felt like two hours! She finally let out a cry, but by that time I was a mess. I had no idea what to do and had just started for the door. I knew the hospital was only a minute away, so I was on my way! But, she let out the cry and so I just held her and tried to get her responsive! After a few seconds, she started breathing again but it was really fast short breaths! Then, all of a sudden it was over and she was fine...although Mom was hysterical!! The worst part about it was I didn't know what to do! I didn't know if I should try to help her myself, or if that would be wasting time and I should try to get her somewhere quick! I felt like there was no time for me to decide, and by the time I had made a decision it was either over or it was too late! That was the worst feeling in the world! Then, I called Shane and he came home...more so to take care of me though cause she was fine! I was crying so hard though that I could barely get the words out. I cried the rest of the night and didn't sleep at all cause I couldn't get her face out of my mind!!! It was absolutely horrible and something I hope we won't have to experience again!

Missy- One of my girlfriends went through that same thing with her daughter when she was a baby- it is very scary- I think she used to blow in her face when she would hold her breath- I think it's something that they outgrow- just a phase maybe? brace yourself- it may happen again- sounds like the exact same thing- enjoying your daily journal- as usual! Great job!
