what happened there?!

[berolina]

we live in a flat, living room next to bedroom. ds (4mo) sleeps next to us in a bedside cot. we have a moses basket for the living room which ds still fits into.
remember being up in living room, ds asleep in mb. had 1 small (!) glass of wine. just now I woke up in bed, ds crying, not next to me! get up and find him in his mb! how did I manage to not take him to bed?! (note: would not deliberately leave him in other room for the night - just wouldn't - feel I need to have him in with us). at first I really thought someone had broken in, but the door's locked!
can't find it funny yet - ds now happily on breast, but am at myself and still don't get how I managed that! anyone done similar or am I going mad?

it is amazing the effect of alcohol on the sleep deprived mind!!! Its not quite the same but I always thought that I had never ever slept through ds waking up and needing me. The other morning dh (who sleeps like the dead and never wakes to him) was up late and in the morning said that he had ended up settling ds down about 11.30. I never heard a thing and felt sooo guilty and got to wondering how many times this had happened when dh wasnt up!!! (I hadnt had anything to drink btw just plain old fatigue) In the end all you can do is decide that he is ok and you are ok and move on without beating yourself up too much. (We even had the monitor on!!!)

It is amazing what sleep deprivation does to you.
DH told me that I used to scrabble around the bed in the night, all panicky, saying, "Where is it? Where is it? I can't find it!"
Turned out I was looking for the baby ... who was sleeping peacefully in his moses basket next to me!
I also remember finding myself in DD's room picking her up to feed her and finding that she was actually still asleep and hadn't woken to be fed yet ...

Cheers! Still can't believe it. But it took me forever to get up this am - dh played with ds and I fed him in bed - so I must have been really really knackered. I thought I'd got used to the sleep deprivation really quickly!

Ooooh I feel sorry for you lot, reading these threads, I remember it well.....the early baby days, thats why I didn't want anymore after my two, I just COULD NOT COPE with the lack of sleep. I feel like crying now when DS shouts me to just give him a quick cuddle before settling back down to sleep. I just don't know how I did it!!!!!

Ghosty, I used to do that! Also asked DH to put DS back in his moses basket one night after feeding him. DH got up, walked round the bed, said, deadpan, "He's already in there" and got back in bed. I have no recollection of putting him there!
