48 hours after coming home with her newborn, Arwen thought she nearly killed him. As sleep deprivation was increasing, and in her weary-eyed stupor, she accidentally left the space heater on at maximum heat in the baby's room. By the time she realized what happened, the temperature in the room was over 100 degrees and her son was lethargic and barely responsive.
The guilt was overwhelming and the doubts began to creep into her mind that she was not fit for motherhood. That same guilt would return a few years later when her youngest child - who was only a few weeks old - was pulled off the countertop by the toddler when she left the room for a brief moment to get dinner started.
In this episode, Arwen recalls the times when she thought she had nearly killed both of her newborn children and reminds us all that babies are resilient, accidents will happen, and that parents need to go easy on themselves. Feeling unprepared does not mean you are unfit for the challenges ahead in life.
