You should wake him up with a handy in the morning

the boy started screaming and crying last night at around 2:30 AM. We were all sound asleep without a care in the world when suddenly:

:cds: <----Bubba

Now, I can only sleep in a pitch black room with zero light. (I know... :racist:) As soon as my husband and I hear the shrill from the baby's room, we (unknowingly) BOTH get up and start running toward the door :jameo: I had this impending feeling of dread that someone was trying to kidnap my baby so I was HAULING ASS... so was he. In the absolute darkness, we collide. At the speed we were going, you can only imagine the noise we made as I fell and put a hole in the drywall. :banghead:

Meanwhile, he didn't stop to check on me. He ran over me to get to the baby (as he should). I finally brush myself off and turn on the light and run into the baby's room. The little shiit is fast asleep. :mad: He had a nightmare or something.... I'm not sure what an 18-month-old has a nightmare about... but whatever. He was safe. :yay:

My hip is still sore from hitting the wall so hard - I'm sure it will be a bruise in a few days. :coffee: Husband is not too happy about the wall... and of course it's my fault :rolleyes:

My goal for today is to get a touch-lamp for my nightstand. :coffee: Drywall is not my problem.

Also, I am tired because I never went back to sleep after this ordeal. :cds:

Trying not to laugh, but we've been there too... your heart freezes and stops when you hear the monitor, we're very lucky that Chase has been sleeping through the night (watch me curse myself tonight). He does on occasion lose his nunny in the night (yes, last month for the nunny) and he'll wake up and we'll sprint in and find it for him and he passes right back out. Our hardest thing we're dealing with now is eliminating the bedtime bottle. I've put his warm milk in a sippy cup and he is NOT having it, gets MAD !!!! 17 months old today. He only has a bottle before bed, but it's time to stop I guess.

Ugghhh we just went through this! NO FUN. The nighttime bottle I managed to eliminate by giving him a full sippy of milk with/immediately following dinner. That kept his belly full.

The afternoon pre-naptime daycare bottle he actually gave up (read: threw and refused to have anything to do with) on his own.

The morning bottle was the last one and we've been off it for almost 2 weeks now. I give him a sippy of milk in the morning, which is hit or miss. Sometimes he drinks it, sometimes he doesn't. He gets a real breakfast when he gets to daycare, the provider hasn't said anything about him coming in more irritable or starving than he was when he got a bottle each morning.

I don't generally jump up either unless it's the hurt/terrified scream and it happens more than once or is accompanied by a REALLY loud thump. Of course if he's screaming after a thump worst case scenario is an ER run. He's obviously okay enough to be crying about it.

Wow, now I feel like a bad mom, too. Hah.

It's not the cry out and the panic stricken look on my or my husbands face, it's the panic that he WON'T stop crying and wakes himself up and gets worked up that has us hitting the oh SH*T button... we don't run down to him immediately, we wait and see if he'll go back to sleep, and he usually does after he locates the nunny.
