I'm hoping that this is a common occurance becuase I feel like the worlds worst mother!!!

Luke fell off the couch this morning and I feel so incredibly guilty. I'm sure he's ok as he didn't cry for long, I think he was shocked more than anything. The couch is pretty low to the floor, however we have floor boards, so it wasn't a soft fall by any means. I just feel completely responsible for it - I should never have left him on the couch. He's just so much happier sitting up on the couch than on the floor and I only turned my back for a moment. He's usually so good and doesn't move around much at all but I guess that stage is now over and I have to be a lot more careful. How stupid of me. Worst of all, I called my husband who made me feel even worse and for the first time in six and a half months, I'm really wondering if I am a good mother!

How do I get over the guilt of it and how do I know that Luke is ok - I'm so worried that I've now done something to hurt him. He's sound asleep, so I guess there couldn't be too much bothering him.

Anyway, thanks for listening, I just had to get this off my chest.
