I have joined the irrational worry mummy’s club. The dues are low, but the stress is high. 🙂
You see, I put Adam to bed around 2300 last night. And woke up myself at 230 in a blind panic because he hadn’t woken up. Cue much frantic feeling of tummy for breathing. He was fine, just asleep. Mummy was then awake for several hours. Adam woke up for food at 4am. I could have slept for 4.5 – 5 hours in a row! Silly mummy.
And then wouldn’t settle all morning, except in my arms. My mum finally took him after lunch and I got 3 hours of sleep. And now daddy is home looking after him. Because he wouldn’t settle for my mum either.
Just another day with a newborn!!
It will only be one in a long line of nights like that. Both my kids were good sleepers, well at least when they finally went to sleep. I use to drive myself crazy waking up and staring into the bassinett, counting the spaces between breaths. Hang in there!!!
