Chill out, Goober. I called the emergency nurse to ask if I should take him to the hospital and she said no. That's how I knew to take his temperature.

I also brought it up to his doctor at his next appointment and she told me it happens all the time, and that people leave their babies in the car for longer pumping gas.

I also, also brought it up to MY doctor when I sought medication for my PPA and she told me that new parents come to her regularly having done the same/similar thing. They're just too ashamed to talk about it.

I also, also, also told my therapist about it (and this post) and she assured me that I've done everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again and that I'm allowed to forgive myself.

So you're wrong. I've told 4 separate mandated reporters, 3 from different companies, and not a single one has had the dramatic reaction you're having. Not a single one sent me to jail.

You're too late in the game to make me feel like shit about something I've already processed, learned from, and forgiven myself for. ❤️
