Someone told me that those people who laugh their way through challenges are more likely to make it in life than those who deal with life and themselves so harshly. So last night our boy woke up to feed around 12:30am, he is doing pretty good, he wakes up thrice or twice every night for a three months, I praise the Lord.
Anyway, last night after I fed him around 12:30am I received a call from a friend of mine who was going through some challenges. After putting my phone down, I realized my hubby was still sitting on the bed. I asked him, “Honey are you okay”? He says “Please hand over the baby I take him to his room (yes our boy is out of our room). I said “Honey, I gave you the baby, where is the baby? Immediately we start looking for him on our bed...to be honest, I literally peeped under the bed (lights were all off). Then I said something like “Honey I gave you the baby” My Hubby goes like “ Yeh...you did, I think I have placed him back”...my last words were , please go check if the baby is there. Did he go to confirm.......I’m not sure but at least Mnara was (thank God!) there in the morning!
Sounds funny, but sometimes, I think the whole break feeding process at night takes place when my hubby and I are half asleep.
This morning we laughed about it and once again I thank God for the gift of motherhood and a husband who is willing to pick the baby and bring him to me to breastfeed regardless of how many times he wakes up at night.
Haiya, i thought I was the only one who has those moments, of searching for Samara. At times in my sleep I ask my hubby where is Samara..or after breast feeding her i return her to her bed, then he starts asking me where is the baby? Think its all normal and part of parenthood, but unlike you Emma am so glad Samara sleeps through out the night at 15months..only hustle is getting her to that bed..after that there is peace.
