Our scary moment

Right when Paisley turned six months she was off. She started crawling everywhere and I forgot how much I struggle with this stage because baby proofing is so hard when they are crawling. The thing that is the hardest is that no matter how many times I clean the floor she seems to always find something to get in her mouth and with a three year old constantly leaving things on the ground this makes it much harder. So I try to keep her pacifier in her mouth while she is on the floor so she won't put anything in her mouth and yesterday we were doing pretty good until I walked into the kitchen to do the dishes, she was just sitting on the floor outside the kitchen and I noticed she was struggling to breath. I went over to see if I could see anything in her mouth but it had already made its way down her throat at first she coughed a couple of time but then she wasn't breathing or making any noise so I proceeded to turn her over on my arm and hit her on the back. At this point what to do next was going through my mind. I didn't know what I was going to do if I couldn't get this out of her throat and I had no clue what she had swallowed then finally after about a minute or so of hitting her on the back she gags and then starts crying. I couldn't have been more relieved at the sound of her crying. It was the best noise I could have heard at that moment. I don't know if she ended up swallowing what she had in her mouth or what happened to it because I never found it but I am just grateful that she is okay and I couldn't help but hug her as tight as I could. It is moments like these as scary and as horrible as they are that make me realize how blessed I am to be a mother to these precious children that Heavenly Father has sent me.
