Houston and Nikki go DOWN

Houston's bump

Today was the worst day. As a mother you always want the best for your children and you want them to be safe. Well today I let my poor son down. The day started like normal. Houston woke up, ate and was happy. We got ready and headed to church. There was a ton of people at sacrament and so we had to sit in the back in the cultural hall. Houston started getting a little fussy during the passing of sacrament so I got up to take him out. While I was walking out I felt my foot get trapped in something. I tried to shake it loose but to my dismay I became more tangled and began to lose my balance. I started going down and could do nothing to save myself or Houston. I landed and Houston went out of my arms, hit his head, and flipped over. He went stiff as a board. I panicked, grabbed him and ran out. He began crying right away and I was hysterical. I have never felt so terrified in my life. Someone called the paramedics. People came out of the meeting to help. The paramedics arrived and looked at him and said he looked fine. They checked his head, you could see a bump forming, but he was very responsive and even smiled at us. I on the other hand was not in such great shape. I couldn't get control of myself. I just kept picturing him flipping over. After my husband gave me a blessing and we played with Houston for awhile I was convinced he was ok. I have now found out that my foot got tangled in the lady's coat that was sitting in front of us. I don't think I will ever stand up in sacrament again. I am so grateful that Houston is doing fine and for all the people who helped. I love our little Houston bug he is just unlucky that he has to put up with such an accident prone mother.
