My heart is a little sad this morning

So last night I woke up to Kaya's little grunts and groans because it was time for her to eat. I sat up and turned on the little light in the co-sleeper and low and behold I see a little lump in the entry way to our room. I yelled to Ben and he jumped up and grabbed Corrina off of the floor and it turns out she had either walked in her sleep or gotten almost into our room and decided to lay down, but either way I felt awful seeing her sound asleep on the floor like that. I have no idea how long she had been there and what makes me feel the worst is that Kaya makes a peep in the cosleeper next to me and I hear her but how could I not hear my first baby walking about in the middle of the night! :( I feel lousy!

Re: My heart is a little sad this morning

  • Don't feel bad, you did nothing wrong!  She was probably very quiet and you are sleep deprived.  Emelia fell out of her bed one night and slept the entire night on the floor, we found her in the morning.  I have heard her fall before, it makes a loud thud.  So why not this time? 

    If she was sad or uncomfortable, she would have woken you up.  Try not to be too hard on yourself.

  • Awww, don't feel bad!  You were expecting to hear #2 wake up and were listening for it, so of course you're going to wake up when she makes a sound and is laying right next to you!! 

    I had a friend whose DD stripped her bed of all its sheets and then slept in the hallway the first night #2 came home.  I can understand why seeing that tugged at your heart, but try not to let it bother you too much.  Everyone is going through a huge transition and it makes sense that her sleep may be affected at times too. 

    They are both beautiful.  Hope you loving being a mom of two!

     My kids get into my bed in the middle of the night, curl up against me, and I don't even realize it till they've woken me up or nearly pushed me out of bed.
