(Well -- not the pain you had to go through, yuck.) But the fact that your motherly instincts took over even when your body was coming down the ski mountain. I will try to stop worrying about my knee incidents and just believe in the power of being a mom. Bethany — your instincts and natural reaction make me feel so much better!

I'm glad to know I'm not the only mom that hovers. Your son is gorgeous! @The Thinking Black Man--what an awful experience you had with your sister-in-law! I can't even imagine how you must have felt. I would have probably reacted the same way. I'm glad to hear that your son is okay. @Susan–thanks! I’m glad to know I’m not the only mom that hovers.

I'm extremely glad to hear that your daughter is just fine! I read a snippet from this post today in The Express and my heart really went out to you. My wife and I experienced virtually the same thing when our youngest son was about 5 months old. The big differences were - his Aunt was coming down the steps and she DROPPED him! My wife and I were coming up the basement steps and her sister was coming down the upstairs steps just above us and then we heard this commotion! I think I ran up the steps and into the living room in about 2 seconds flat! There was my little son at the bottom of the 'carpeted' steps crying and my Sister-In-Law sitting on about the 6th or 7th step looking crazy. I swept up my son and started checking him for anything that didn't look right and I'm yelling [not so nice words at her] to ask what happened. She babbled about something or another... BUT SHE DROPPED MY FREAKIN' SON!!! She dropped him a long way. I understand that a slip can happen and I understand that it hurts - but YOU responded like a PARENT. YOU took the shot for your baby. YOU are what a true PARENT is - The Self Sacrificer. I hope you feel much better very soon. You know... its been almost 4 years since she dropped my son and I still can't forgive her for it. He was fine thena nd he's fine now, but in my heart - My Sister-In-Law showed me something that day. Something bad, something disappointing. And to make things worse - she actually mentioned that day a few weeks ago with almost a laugh in her voice like it was some cute little event like pulling a childs tooth. Okay.. okay... enough reflection - I'm sorry. I'm REALLY glad that you and your daughter are okay!!! TTBM Hello!

And the answer is yes, that hovering thing is totally normal for new moms. At least I hope so, because I did the same thing, and still kind of do, though to a lesser extent. (My boy is about a week older than Stella.) Hope your back feels better soon. Found you by way of DCblogs.com; beautiful little girl you’ve got, but I don’t need to tell you that.
