I totally identify with the dread (and making the husband check/going in together). The glazed over/open eyes/delayed response happened one time when I picked her up from daycare. I cried the whole way home and was literally still shaking when I walked in the front door. Seriously. These kids need to realize what they're doing to us.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14009797869045944391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-62562529354325940562013-04-23T19:00:21.432-05:002013-04-23T19:00:21.432-05:00Dude.

We've had our snuza give false alarms with our rainbow baby boy, and those were some of the worst ptsd moments. But then every moment that it's NOT alarming, I know my baby is okay, so I don't regret having it. Our first day home I spent the whole night with the lights on watching him sleep - the next day the Snuza came, and I don't know what I'd do without it. Probably never sleep! I think so few people outside of this community realize that this is a neverending battle.JoyAndSorrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923776278331956351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-61385474329442250522013-04-20T01:39:26.224-05:002013-04-20T01:39:26.224-05:00Okay the commenter above about her son taking ange...Okay the commenter above about her son taking angelcare to college had me laughing so hard I spit my soda out.

You have no idea how much they need you and love you and how very scary it is for your mom to have just that *fleeting* thought she might lose you too? <br /><br />Sorry you had a scare lady. I've had a few similar situations, with the lack of movement and the lack of sound and me thinking the worst case... About not WANTING to check in the crib in case that was the end..

Now that M has started to sleep on his tummy more frequently I understand your anxiety. I can't count the number of times I wake up and check for breathing.<br /><br />Sorry to hear about all of the flooding...we haven't heard much out East with all of the insanity from the Boston bombing. My hometown experienced similar flooding almost two years ago and then there was Hurricane Sandy here. It's mind boggling the damage water can do!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959316010187897774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-5178784308100853512013-04-19T12:14:30.523-05:002013-04-19T12:14:30.523-05:00Been there and done that!

Gracie is about to turn 16 months and we just started leaving the Angelcare off most nights due to false alarms every night (aka my husband made me do it). I still turn it on if she is sick, and when we don't have it on I get up at least once to check on her. Ughhh.<br />I am so sorry you had to go through that, I keep thinking one day it will get easier....right???Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16163364842948246994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-29198477294624856152013-04-19T11:51:38.026-05:002013-04-19T11:51:38.026-05:00Oh my God!! Brandy! Reading that I literally had ...Oh my God!! Brandy! Reading that I literally had adrenaline run through my body and physically shook. Oh. My. God! <br /><br />I can identify with all of it (except the flooding! Holy crap!) We use an angelcare religiously and the false alarms have made us wonder when to stop. And the answer is for me, not until she is at least 1! I have had false alarms where I run in the room or somehow the monitor gets turned off and then you run in panicked.<br /><br />I think that is the worst part of it. I never feel like I can get comfortable in having her. Like the second I let my guard down, BAM! That is the moment something horrible will happen. As you said, you were preoccupied with the basement and the flooding and BAM! Fear, panic, anxiety. Just like how we lost our first babies, just walking along and then our life fell out from under us.<br /><br />I know that look you gave each other as you went to go check on him, Matthew and I have exchanged the same glance. <br /><br />I am so glad all is well. I am so glad your wee boy is fine too. I might go have a drink for you!<br /><br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04765311698457480243noreply@blogger.com
