The only STTN drawbacks...

1. Since Aria doesn't do this regularly, I wake up at 12, 2, 4, and 5. These have all been regular wake up times in the past, though not all in the same night. Self, quit!!!!

2. I hate hate hate that when I wake up at 5, I panic that she's dead. Every. Single. Time. I have an Angelcare monitor, it'd be going insane if she was. I still have to go check on her, just in case, which wakes her up occasionally. Stupid self.

LOL. If I wake up and Audra has been asleep for a long period of time unusual for her, I will wake up to focus on the monitor and make sure she's breathing haha.

Yea I do this a lot. So glad I got the video monitor!!

I still wake up around 4:30 most mornings, even though J usually gets up closer to 6 now. 

There is a door connecting our rooms that we keep open at night, so I don't have a video monitor. But I will often sneak in just to peek at him- before we go to bed, when I wake up to use the bathroom, etc.

You would think that the angelcare monitor would give you more peace of mind. I have the a snuza and I am a nervous wreck if she sleeps without it.

I know, right? I'm fine on the nights that she doesn't sttn, or when she makes a little noise, but on nights like last night where she sleeps all night without a peep, I freak out a smidge.

Sometimes I think it'd be better if we just had an old sound only monitor. I think the video scream makes me crazy.

All of this for me too! I wake up to go to the b/r since he hasn't been waking up to nurse AND then I go open his nursery door and stare at the blinking green light to be sure it's working properly...EVEN though I have a video monitor right next to the bed.

I'm pretty sure if I woke up at 5 after being asleep all night, I'd be pretty sure I was the one that was dead. Died & gone to heaven! DS has STTN once in his life.

I wake up randomly through the night too even though Eli STTN and every time I'm up I go in and check on him. Lol. I think I'll get over that once he's 10.
