So yesterday we put Emily into her own room. I spent some time in the afternoon putting her cot together and hanging the bassinet in it as she’s still too little to go in the cot proper. She has learned to kick the end of the basinet to make it rock and seems to enjoy that so no doubt that will continue.
I worried that she’d struggle to setting in her own room on her own, I worried and event commented to Emily on our walk on Saturday that I thought her mum would struggle a little with her wee daughter in the other room and only the baby monitor to keep us in touch.
It was a little unnerving I have to say for both of us but eventually we settled into bed.
Strange noises came from the baby monitor so checking was done. All was fine; some more coughs and was that a choke?! Again.. Checking was the order of the night.. on it went, then the alarm, the baby monitor also has a motion sensor that goes off if it can’t feel changes in the pressure pad, i.e. breathing isn’t happening… I’m not sure even Mr Bolt the Olympic sprint champion could have got to the room quicker.. But it turns out, our wee darling has simply wriggled to the side and off the pressure mat!.. All in all 10 visits were made to Emily’s room that 1st night… not by her mum.. But by me, I was, to put it mildly a bit of a nervous wreck by it all!…
