today was quite eventful...we worked on moving stella's room and putting together baby boy's. the experience brought me to tears, b/c i am hormonal and weirdly attached to stella's original nursery.
later on in the afternoon we were all in stella's new room working, while she was playing with a basket of books. in the midst of our mess, she found something small in the carpet and put it in her mouth. she was turning blue and not breathing so nate turned her upside down and hit her on her back over and over. she started breathing, but not continuously. amanda called 911 while nate continued, and mom and dad helped. i was just a basket case and couldn't keep it together. eventually stella started crying really hard, which told us that
A.) she was breathing and
B.) whatever she swallowed went down, because it sure didn't come up
ems arrived shortly after, so we all greeted them in the front yard. they examined her and said her lungs were clear, her stomach was fine, and her vitals were good. they said whatever it was would most likely come out via #2. their exact words, of course ;)
anyway, the rest of the night stella has been doing fine. nate, mom, dad, amanda, and i are all more tramatized than she is! i am just so thankful for my precious girl!!!!

Just glad she is OK!!! I was telling Matt the story and his first question was "How did Nate know to do that?" So... way to go, Nate! :)
Secondly, I will have a long serious discussion with Stella next weekend about this weekend's incident... I can guarantee you it will not happen again after our talk. :)
Love you!
Wow -- glad to hear she's OK. That must have been quite the scare!
Glad she is ok and that Nate remembered to flip her upside down!
