Irrational Post!!!
Tonight is the first night we've put Lucas to bed in his crib in our room before we've gone up to bed and I'm sat staring at the monitor! Put him down at 8.30 and had to resettle him at 9 cos I hadn't swaddled him properly and his hand was causing him some grief! Feel almost sad that I'm not cuddlng him to sleep, but know it's for the greater good until he settles well by himself, but I miss lookng down and seeing him so comfy and contented on me.
Not helped by the fact I was feeding him in the Mummy's room at Mothercare today and a couple were there with their 2 week old daughter and we got chatting and they told me that 2 nights ago she stopped breathing and they knew cos they have the sensor monitor! They had to give her mouth to mouth until the ambulance arrived. How terrifying! I don't think I'd ever want to let her go and this means I want to check on Lucas every 2 minutes but know I musn't!
Miss my newborn. But love my little smiling Water Baby!
H and LJ 1 month tomorrow!

Lasted about 2 mins before I went down and brought her up with me! I have left her downstairs whilst I've been in the shower or getting dressed, but somehow didn't like it so much when I was trying to sleep myself
In a way I am dreading the night she sleeps through as I know I will wake up panicking that we haven't heard from her! x
