Horrible morning

RumbleLina · June 2011

I woke up this morning and it was light out...definitely out of the norm lately for DS since he has been waking up at 4am. I look at my clock and it says 730am and I thought "whoa, he didn't wake up" until I laid there and was hearing muffled crying (we shut our doors and his at night because of the cats). I am super confused because I didn't hear him on the monitor until I realized we never turned the monitor on. I got up, flew out of bed, and pretty much ran to him. When I got in there it was if he was having a full on anxiety attack and when I picked him up he was so relieved to finally have me holding him he snuggled into as he was trying to catch his breath.

Thinking about it again makes me want to cry even. I hope to high heavens he didn't wake last night and was crying his head off and fell asleep due to exhaustion. I knowif he did that one time crying to sleep isn't going to scar him but I still feel horrible for the possibility.

Oh! Poor little man! I bet you feel so terrible. Hope all is well and he settles ok!

I hope he calmed down and had a good day today. I would try to tell myself that if he woke up crying you would hear it(although I dont know how close your rooms are to one another). I'm sure he has forgotten all about it already!

Oh sweetie! Stuff happens! Cuddle him close as much as you can to let him know you are there!

I have commutes where DS wants nothing but being cuddled... and it kills me that we can't spend 30 mins at the side of the road cuddling him...

He will be okay! You will be okay!

He was exhausted and hungry so I fed him a bottle and he passed out right away so instead of putting him back into his crib to sleep I snuggled him while he slept. I know I am more scarred than he is though.

Our rooms have an adjoining wall so I would hope that I would hear him but with as tired as we both have been who knows. Although, just to save my heart, I will go along with the thought that I would hear him and that my "mommy-sense" would alert me.

One night our monitor wasn't plugged and the battery ran out. I woke up at 7:30 to boo screaming. I know that if he had been that upset at some point during the night I would have heard the screams. I'm sure the same is true for you. But I know how you feel. I was so upset.

awww poor lil guy! I hope he had a good day, I have forgotten to turn the monitor on during the day for naps. I close the door when he naps to keep the cats out as well. I was playing the xbox kinect while he was asleep when I remember to turn it on! As soon as I turned it on he as screaming and it sounds like he had been for awhile

I was soo sad! It will be ok though! We are only human.
