Brennen gets stitched

My sweet boy is trying to walk so hard. He is pulling up all over the place and this morning while I was getting the girls ready for school, he tried to pull up on the kitchen chair and slipped. His poor head hit the chair. I had thought he hit his nose (which was already cut from a tumble off the bed), but nope. He had a gash above his eye. I knew he needed stitches. Luckily, it is Friday so Teagan had school. I dropped her off at school after putting another batman bandage on his eye and took Emmersyn to my moms and headed to the ER (I waited til 8 to call my doctor and was informed they don't stitch).
Sure enough, he got FIVE stitches. Can't believe my sweet 9 month old is already getting big enough for stitches. And...he beat Emmersyn who was 10 months when she got her first set of stitches.


Before the stitches. Even busted up, he was a happy boy! Poor boy is just a walking ad for Band-Aid.


And after. He did SO good. The doctor and nurses were shocked he was so good and made several comments about how good he was. They got him wrapped up tight in a blanket and got 3 of the stitches in before he cried. Then, he cried for a few minutes because the bright light was making him hot and as soon as they moved it, he stopped. So nice to have a happy baby!

I'm hoping this isn't a sign of times to come with 3 kids. I feel like the hospital needs to give me a frequent visitor card I'm there so much!
