Ok, maybe I ought to explain first that I have a baby daughter (she's adorable btw :littleangel: )
I had the first day of my first aid update course today and we were re-learning resuscitation. I thought to myself that I'd choose a baby dummy instead of a child one so, if the worst ever happened to my little one, I'd have practised it.
Only I couldn't get that thought out of my head once it was there. And the more I thought about it, the more that dummy came to symbolise my own baby. :panic:
In the end, I actually ended up picking up the baby dummy and cuddling it, tears streaming down my face because it wasn't alive :o Heaven only knows what the rest of them thought!
Oh dear! I have to go back for the 2nd half of the course next week and I don't know where I shall put my face! :blush:
I don't suppose anyone else has been daft enough to become emotionally attached to a rescusitation dummy? Or do I need to think about some serious psychiatric help?! :laughing:
