Bad mummy?

I feel miserable. Today, I took my eyes off ds for a split second, and he dived off the edge of the bed, head first onto the floor, narrowly missing a chest of drawers. Poor sausage cried a lot (although not as much as for other times, with lesser warranted reasons), and proceeded to be a bit sorry for himself for the next hour or so.

He perked up later and was his old self, so I am sure that he is fine, but I feel so awful. I know that bumps happen to most babies in some way, but I can't help feeling that I am the worst mummy in the world.

To top it off, later he found a penny on the floor of mum's house, and put it in his mouth. Luckily, I saw something as he did it, and mum and I got it out, but it could have been terrible if he had swallowed it.

Am I just the worst mummy, or has this happened to alot of you out there? I can't wrap ds in bubble wrap!!

And most of this happens under MY careful supervision.

I feel so much better now about the original posting I made. Since then, I am more chilled about things. I nearly dropped ds when trying to put him in his door swing thingy yesterday, but was quite relaxed about it - after all, I caught him didn't I?!!!

He didn't seem to mind me accidentally knocking my front teeth on his forehead yesterday either (don't ask!), although it really hurt me! He looked a bit wobbly when he saw my shocked face, but was fine when I became all matter of fact about it.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one, although I had a sneaking suspicion that I wouldn't be. I knew that you'd all have stories to tell, but I'm glad that all ds/dds are well and not missing any limbs
