Poor Owen. It's only a flesh wound, though. I think a helmet would have longer-lasting psychological effects. At that age my brother was nicknamed Natty Bumpo and had a goose-egg on the middle of his forehead for months in a row. And he's fine now, pretty much!
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Ow-ey Owen is still awfully cute. Poor little munchkin.

YOu'd think baby skulls would be sturdier, what with all the head-first exploration they do.

OMG! That's a perfect nickname! We call him "Bumpy".

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But they are sturdy! You hardly ever break right through.

Ouch! Poor Owen. Cash, if it makes you feel any better they do slow down a little but then the bumps get bigger (the youngest just went for his 9 y.o. check up with a huge hokin scraped knee and bruises all along one leg - thankfully the Dr. has boys so she just laughed and told him to be careful).

Especially since my brother's name is Nathaniel.

And in re: to your nursing clothing rant - a fucking men. If I knew how to sew more than curtains, I could make a MAJILLON DOLLARS designing nursing clothes that didn't look like something left over from the Barnum and Bailey fire Sale.

I know nothing about nursing dresses, although I have a lot of experience in being unable to find clothes. I assume you've tried eBay, but there is this -- [link] I'm probably not being helpful, but I am successfully avoiding work.

I'm going to start rating O's bumps by quality. This one gets a 10 for color (it turned purple IMMEDIATELY), a 2 for hardly any blood, a 7 for immediate swelling, and a 5 on Mommy's alarm scale.
