Woke up in a MAJOR PANIC. OMG

AshSchultz

I have never in my life been so incredibly freaked out as I was this morning. I have never scared my DH as bad as I did this morning.

Monday through Friday-- DH gets up about 5:45 a.m. for work... Dylan wakes up between 6 & 6:30 to eat and goes back night night... Dylan has a video monitor on his crib.. and normally I put him in his crib head to the left, feet to the right... However, he is a scooter and is usually all the way in the corner by morning.... THIS morning, I look on the video monitor at about 6 and HE'S NOT THERE.. OMG- DYLAN HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED... (he's only 3 months-- no crawling, no walking, no standing) So I fly out of the bed... swing open the bathroom door where DH is getting ready and yell "catch" and throw the monitor at him... He and I both go flying out of the room at 800,000 mph... only to find Dylan all the way up against the "foot" of his bed. Apparantely, there is a tad bit of the bed not visible by the video-- we did not know this. And OBVIOUSLY Dylan has learned how to rotate w/ his scooting.. haha

My heart has never dropped so low..so fast ever.. I felt so happy to see him, yet DUMBBBBBBB for not checking before I freaked DH out and pissed him off for a lovely Monday morning drive to work.. OOPS!

I developed a lot of anxiety after I had Tess.  I can remember making DH go in her room to check on her one morning that she had slept waaay past her normal time of waking up.  I was terrified something was wrong   Everything rational told me she was just asleep but I've come to accept that hormones are NOTrational.  Sorry you had a scare!

I totallly feel for you. It happened to me to at the Children's Museum when someone was so "helpful" and took Audrey to the bathroom. It's the absolute worst feeling in the world. I'm glad he's fine.

Yikes, nothing like a 6 am heart attack.

And thank you for confirming my idea that we need to position the baby camera so that we don't have blind spots.  My mom was asking why we haven't mounted the camera yet and looked at me like I had three heads when I mentioned blind spots.

I guess he was just tired of being on camera!

Congrats on making it to 3 months before having a panic attack!  Ours happened on day 2 while still in the hospital.  The nurse decided to take Marlowe for her hearing test at 4:30am and didn't wake us to tell us first.  I knew she had the lojack on her cord stump, but it still made my heart get stuck in my throat!

I have had so many oh hell moments.  Glad everything was ok!

We have a blind spot at the foot of Brady's crib, too.  If he scrunches right up against the edge of the bed we can't see him.  The first time it happened I had a mini-heart attach for a second, but then was like "there is no way he crawled out of the crib already" so I figured it must be a mistake.  When I got into the room and saw where he was I couldn't help but laugh at him "hiding" from the camera.
