worst night ever...

I started back to work today and I worked it out with them that I would work 5 rill 9:30 mon thru thursday and then Friday 2 till 9:30.  My husband will be with Tanner when I am at work.  I was sick in my stomach about it all day and my husband called me and texted me all night.  Could not get Tanner to sleep, didn't know if he should feed him, blah blah blah.  Everytime I talked to him he was stressed out and a few times Tanner was screaming.  This is a baby who has slept from 7 till 7 since he was 5 weeks old.  I don't know what happened but I am so sad.  For Tanner and DH.  I am goin to worry like crazy tomorrow when i have to go back.

Could you make him a check list... 

Tired, needs a diaper change, needs to burp, wants to play...

Check for diaper rash. 

Things to sooth...  stand and dance/rock back and forth, hold back of head, hum to him...  he'll get it, the most hard part if going to be for him to just figure out his own method.  To be honest, I bet the hardest, but best way to do it would be to tell him your going to be unavailable from x time to x time, but to call if necessary (in a week or so)...  sounds like a confidence thing.  This is soo good for them, it's going to be rough, but it's great bonding.

I agree with the checklist thing.

Also, as hard as it is, they will both adjust. I promise!
