Baby's first...broken nose?

The day of the accident:
The day after the accident:
So, Brigid fell yesterday. Apparently, with a blanket in one hand and a toy in the other, she didn't have a free hand when she tripped over someone else, so she broke her fall with her nose. I was in the other room when it happened, and all I heard was a thump, followed by a pretty prolonged wail. By the time I got to her, a few seconds later, there was already a line of bruising across the bridge of her nose. I'm going to take it as a good sign that the bruising never progressed to her eyes, but we're still keeping a close watch on her, to make sure that when the swelling is completely gone in a day or two, nothing looks off-kilter on that cute little nose of hers. Otherwise, we're looking at a trip to the doctor to get a broken nose reset.

Let's all just hope it doesn't come to that, ok?
