And the worst parents award goes to...

Us.  DH apparently turned the monitor off so that I could sleep a little yesterday.  He never told me he turned it off.  Well, Cadie had issues going to sleep, so when I finally got her to go down at 2 am, I went to bed.  We woke up this morning to realize that DH, in his sleep-deprived state last night, had forgot to turn the monitor back on.

I feel absolutely horrible that my baby could have been crying for me across the house and I never heard her.  She was fine this morning, but I have definitely learned my lesson.  Make sure you check the monitor before you go to bed!

    We did this once too and only woke up with DS was screaming from his crib.  I felt horrible!  But the good news: there doesn't appear to be any permanent damage! Stick out tongue

    Give yourself a break.  They call this the trenches for a reason.  And think of it this way - now you're not sleep deprived (or less so) and your DD is still okay!

    She's okay and your more rested. It happens you aren't the worst parent!! I can make you feel better. The other day I locked LO my keys and my cell phone in the car at Walmart. I thought I'd opened the door all the way so I threw all my stuff in the seat next to him but when I shut my door the momentum combined with the incline I was parked on latched the door just enough that it locked!! Thankfully I was able to use a paserbys phone and DH only works 5 min from the walmart!! We all do stupid stuff when sleep deprived!

    Oh GOSH, I'm not alone!! We did this last night!!! DD got up to eat at 4 a.m and I always turn the monitor down while I go to her room so that hubby doesn't have to hear us in her room...well I was so sleepy I forgot to turn it back up and I passed out. I woke up at 6:55 and looked over at the video monitor and I could see her freaking..I jumped up and ran to her room and she had snot all over her face and her hair was soaked from crying...omygod I felt horrible!!!! I have no clue how long she cried for:( I feel like the worst mom ever..I haven't stopped snuggling her today....from now on I will not turn the monitor down at all!!!
