It's a year of firsts
Unfortunately, this is not a good first. She has her first injury.
I fell down my steps while carrying her. Pergo is a fairly slick surface anyway, plus I was wearing house-shoes that don't provide much traction, plus my railings switch sides - you have to hold on with your right hand during the first half of the stairs and your left for the second half. When you have something in your arms, it's pretty unlikely you'll stop at the landing and switch it to the other arm. Although I might from now on.
I managed to land on my back, hoping she wouldn't get injured at all, but her head smacked the door jam. It was just a horrible moment.
I started to call the doctor, but while they had me on hold, I felt pretty silly sitting there holding a baby who was grinning at me. So I hung up.
