Ouch!

Okay, cutting little tiny finger nails is not easy.  To be honest it terrifies me to death.  The first attempt I thought I did pretty good.  Second attempt... not so good.  I cut her thumb... poor thing screamed. I then started to get all teared up as I snuggled her in my remorse.  I am happy to say that it was the last finger I had to do.  Next time I am going to have to make Rand do it.

Oh I hate cutting their nails but I filed Mack's down with a nail file for a long time before I used the clippers. It was much easier for me.

I remember the first time I did that to Oliver. Thankfully he was sleeping so he just jolted, he must have been in a deep sleep. But it still broke my heart. Your little Lula is one of the CUTEST little girls I've seen. And you look fantastic!

I am exactly the same! I pinched Ella's thumb when she was tiny and it freaked me out so bad that I refuse to clip her nails now. It's Danny's job now.

I did the same thing to Tate and felt horrible!! I guess it's inevitable when they're fingers are so small:)

Sorry to say but most of us have experienced this same problem, though it breaks your heart they don't remember it when they're older. I love and miss you guys, Connie

I totally make my husband cut my baby's nails too! It is too scary for me and then I am not the bad guy if he accidentally gets cut :)

Oh poor thing! Don't worry, it happens to everyone! I've loved looking at your new family pics and am so happy for you guys. You're amazing.

I did that a few months ago to Boston when we first brought him home and I felt horrible! It has to be done though or they'll scratch themselves...she is beautiful though. Hope you're feeling good!
