Remember when i said today was not a good day?
Here’s the icing on the cake, if you want to call it that…Where’s Eli?
My husband had gone out to get his flu shot in the morning. Julian was playing on his computer, Eli was strapped on his rocker, while the music was playing on the background.., so i went to take a quick shower. Eli must have realized i was gone, he started crying …So i am trying to rush, i hear Julian say to Eli it is going to be ok baby Mmmmmmwa, baby got a kiss. He keeps quiet, Julian is reading something on the computer loud , then Eli starts crying again.
A few seconds later, he is quiet, so i decided to take my time in the shower…I got out of the shower get dressed, still no crying baby. I got done, then decided to go check on him…OMG!!!!, my heart starts beating so fast as if i just run a marathon. The rocker was empty. Julian is sitting on the computer. I am looking on the floor to see if Julian unstrapped him, and he fell down . Still No baby anywhere. Looked in the kitchen, by the couch,, by the TV no baby.
At this point am almost yelling, Julian where’s Eli? He looks at me, like he doesn’t know. I looked at the front door it was still locked. Then the balcony door…it was unlocked. I am in a panic almost crying , I opened the door and there holding Eli was my husband. You got to be kidding me! I am still trying to catch my breath, i am almost in tears, and my husband is just smiling, saying “i have the baby”. I go back inside, my legs are shaking..i sit on the couch and just trying to fight back the tears. My husband follows me inside, trying to say something to me.. Eli looks at me and smiles, i just collect myself and try to smile back and i stand up to go hold him.
I hugged him so tight, poor thing, he just layed on my chest chewing on his fingers. I mean, you just don’t understand. You have to be a parent to understand what this felt like. You know, i thought the worst. I didn’t hear my husband getting back home, and he was the last person i thought of having the baby. Oh God, i pray for safety of our children, and hope if anyone’s child is missing tonight, they get to come back home soon.
Goodnight all!
