Another Thing There’s No Entry For In The Baby Book

Baby’s First Shiner.

Yep, Carrie’s got a black eye. Well, sort of – it’s not nearly as bad as it could be. She was carrying a hard plastic toy and tripped and fell onto it, and she’s got a nice reddish bruise on her eyelid and right below her eye. I’m expecting it to turn purple by tomorrow. There’s a tiny but very superficial part of me that’s concerned about whether it will be gone before her birthday party in two weeks…or better yet, by the time we get her hair cut next week. The rest of me is just extremely thankful that she didn’t seriously hurt herself. I’ll admit, my heart stopped for a split second when I saw that bright red mark right under her eye…I was thinking it was much worse than a bruise.

It’s scary being a mama.

    Hi Sarah. I found your blog when I Googled “Nina Nonna”. I’ve been trying to find the words to that lullaby, but so far with no luck. I’m not Italian, but my husband is, and his grandma sang him that song when he was little. I have a 3 month old, and I can’t believe how much she looks like Carrie. It’s uncanny! (Also, it’s cool to see what she’ll look like in 9 months!) Anyway, would you email me if you know the rest of the words to “Nina Nonna”? All we know is “Nina Nonna, nosa dorma”. Thanks!!
