"This is a part of being a parent that is so heartbreaking"
Hilaria Baldwin has shared a challenging day as a parent.
In a Thursday Instagram post, the soon-to-be mother of 7 wrote: "Rafa broke his arm really badly yesterday, playing at the park. You will see him with a cast for quite a while now, so I wanted to give you a heads up."
She then gave a shoutout to the medical center that helped them, "Thank you Lennox Hill emergency room for taking such good care of our baby. So grateful to the doctors and the nurses for your expertise and kindness."

"This is a part of being a parent that is so heartbreaking," she admitted. "We were with the babies when it happened and to get that call makes your heart sink. His little voice on the phone 'I want my mommy'…knowing even the 20 min to get to him is 20 min too long. To not be able to immediately take away their pain and fear…oooof nothing prepares us for this, right?"
She went on: "We were at the hospital until pretty late and then we made a bed on our floor (wild sleeper, was afraid he might fall off our bed). How many times he called out for me last night, I do not know. At one point I heard him whispering to himself, recounting what happened, saying over and over: 'I broke my arm'. We are relieved that, while it will be a long recovery road, he is certainly on it."
