Clutz Anonymous

Anyone who has known me for more than a year knows I'm a walking accident on the way to happen. I'm the person who falls down for no apparent reason, I walk into walls and doors on a rather regular basis, and I've also been know to have glasses just break in my hands causing stiches. I'm the kid who continually had band-aids on my knees. I was relatively fall free while pregnant but did take a tumble or two with no major consequences. Today was the scary day I've been dreading. I fell with Wylie. We were walking from the car to the pediatricians office (THANK GOD) when the ground jumped up and bit me HARD. Wylie was in the bjorn facing out. I managed to hit my knees first but still hit the ground with my head and Wylie hit with his forehead. He has a some scratches on his forehead and nose but is otherwise unhurt. I was utterly fearful that when I put my hand on his head there would be blood or something else. Thank God for the great people in Los Angeles. Several people helped me up, picked up my things and got my a chair to sit in and assess Wylie. One woman just talked to me telling me that Wylie was fine because he stopped crying and was eating and smiling. Another person who was a pediatric intern came to check on Wylie as well. All of this made me cry a LOT. The pediatrician did an extensive check and deemed Wylie healthy and in sound condition. I am healing both mentally and physically. I sustained one major knee contusion that has made my knee swell up with icky black bruise amid a large cut. The other knee is skinned and the other ankle is strained. My mind is ruined...my fears for Wylie's mental condition have grown exponentially in the past three hours. Here is where I freak out... I've been having awful dreams for the past few days about a plane crash and Wylie. This was a dream in which the plane crashed and Wylie and I were in the seat facing down and feeling the force of the crash. Wylie also had teeth in the dream. It was one of those dreams that didn't go away after I woke up. It was most definitely there in my mind. Wylie and I fell in similar pattern. He has a tooth that is at the edge of coming through (I can feel it when he nurses). Was my mind aware of the impending fall????
