Today something unimaginable happened to Baby C and me. We met with an accident and I really thought that she would be seriously injured but praise the Lord we only suffered minor injuries.
Baby C had woken up very early today. So I strapped her into her new stroller and off we went down the condo to jog. As I went down a ramp, the wheels of the stroller went over a drain cover and the bump caused the wheels to stagger and I lost my balance and fell and because of the speed down the ramp, the stroller somersaulted and I was absolutely horrified, terrified, aghast, whatever you call it to see the stroller with my baby inside lunged forward and she landed face down on the hard tar road! I thought Baby C would be crushed by the entire stroller… the heavy Peg Perego stroller.
I quickly picked myself up and quickly pulled the stroller up and saw blood on Baby C’s nose. I was horrified. I hugged her and comforted her profusely and she was terribly traumatized and cried till she couldn’t breathe. I summoned the help of one of the security guards at the guard house to help me bring the stroller up to my unit. I was quite calm but Baby C was yelling away. Had it not been the safety belts of the new Peg Perego stroller, the type that goes round both her hands, she could have been more seriously injured. Thank God my hubby gave the old stroller away…. coz the stroller has a missing front barrier and the safety belt is not as safe as the Peg Perego belt.
Long story cut short, Baby C was really traumatized by the accident and even refused to latch on my teat teats when I brought her home. She refused anyone to touch her nose. Hubby was worried that there may be internal injuries to her nose. But my instinct told me that she’s A-ok. True, after an hour nap, she woke up smiling again. However, she still didn’t allow anyone to touch her grazed nose. It hurts my heart deeply to see her having a red nose and a bruised forehead. She really looks like a battered baby.
As for me, there is quite a deep gash on my right elbow, my left middle finger hurts like hell as it was bent and traumatized during the fall and my left leg is swollen. But once again, I thank God that both of us were spared from serious injuries. Today is really one of the worst days of my life…. a nightmare that became a reality!

Thank goodness Baby C is alright. Give her lots of hugs!
Thank goodness nothing worse than that. Heal well…
Thank God for protecting you and Baby C!! Get well soon and hopefully this accident will just be a short term memory for Baby C.
gosh… pity bb C must b very painful.. u take care too
I can understand how scare you were. I was in a car accident when my son was 6 months old. I was really angry at the driver but both of us were o.k. Thank god! But the guilt was there. I’m glad that nothing serious happened.
OMG!!! Thanks God for sparing you and baby C. When I saw the header of this post, my heart pounded like crazy. As you know, I’m accident-paranoid since my own experience……take care and get well soon!!
oh dear, luckily you have a good stroller and really thank god that both of you only have minor cuts and bruises. Take good care.
Thank god that both of you are ok. God Blessed!
Just a word of advice which I had remembered well when my gal was 5 mths old she fell down from our big bed and 10mins later she fussed and went to had a little nap. Doc had told me that we must try to keep the baby awake at least an hour after the accident to make sure its not some concussion causing her to sleepy easily.
Take care.
Never mind about the graze, thank god it wasn’t anything more serious. God bless you and Cassandra
thank god you & baby C are ok! So relieved to hear that! Take care when going out and watch out for uneven roads, etc. My mom once tripped because of uneven road surfaces and fell face down too! Luckily she suffered minor bruises as well.
oh … u when jogging with bb C ?
anyhow… glad both of u r save 🙂
Aiyo aiyo aiyo…
Thank God she’s alright! Poor baby! Put some E-oil onto her nose..even a lil bit will help her skin heal real quick!
You can burst one capsule, put it a ‘woon-chai’, use a very clean finger or cotton bud and it will last quite a while.
Oh dear, almost shock when I read “…the stroller somersaulted…” with Baby C inside. Really relief when read that you and baby C are alright.
aiyoh! luckily both of u are ok esp baby C….
Oh gosh that is horrible. Glad both of you are fine.
Luckily you and baby are not hurt that bad.hope baby c didn’t get another UTI too.all your girls are just so pretty.

I still think its better to bring Baby C for a check up by the doctor just to make sure everything is ok.
aiyo…baby C must be real scare! lucky no major hurt…

Was shocked to hear about your accident. Thank God that both of you are OK. While Baby C seemed fine, you should get your injured finger checked lest you sprained it and becomes a problem later. Take care ya.
