Thinking back....
I laugh at myself and things I did in the first few weeks as a ftm...
- At a rare occasion that DD was asleep in her crib/pnp etc and I'd have the monitor on, I'd hold the dang receiver up by my ear the entire time making sure I can really hear her. And let me tell you, you don't even need a monitor that's how loud she cries LOL
- I was also afraid to go to the bathroom if nobody was around to grab her just in case she needed something
What silly things did you do?

Re: Thinking back....
I would turn the monitor loud enough so I could hear DS breathe when we finally crib trained. He also came to the bathroom with me when there wasn't anyone to hand him off to because I didn't want him to cry when put down so I can pee.
I rode in the back with him for the first few months. I was paranoid about making sure this kid was breathing at all times.
This is what I ended up doing b/c I couldn't hold it all day HAHA
I would put my son in his bouncy chair and put him in the bathroom doorway when I used the bathroom or took a shower!
I went back to work in the evenings when my son was 2 months and my husband would stay with him. I used to be so paranoid that my husband would forget about him and leave him in the car, that I used to peek inside our 2nd vehicle after I got home from work to make sure our son wasn't in there! I have no idea why I felt this way because my husband is an excellent father!!
LOL Namara I rode in the backseat for about 4 months for the same reason. I had to force myself to sit in the front seat and it killed me. Now she is older its much easier.
Our master bathroom is in our bedroom. I make sure I lock the bedroom door when I get in shower so no one can come and kidnap her while I am showering. Silly I know lol.
I use to hold her while I peed, made a bottle, start a load of laundry, etc. Now I know it's okay if she cries for a min as long as she is safe.
ROTFLMAO
