When you become a mom you worry about things you never in your wildest dreams you’d imagine worrying or even thinking about. As hard as it is to do, don’t worry, it does get easier down the road. She’ll become less fragile and you’ll realize she is a lot stronger than you think.

I’ve def. been in the same boat watching them breathe, can’t even count the times I got up to make sure his chest was rising and falling. I guess its a new mother thing.

*AND* there is nothing wrong with co-sleeping. It makes nursing that much easier at night and that much easier to get them back to sleep ;) There were times when I wondered if I should have him in his crib. The best validation I get is when my son rolls over and reaches out for me. He *KNOWS* I am there for him, laying there right next to him. He didn’t open his eyes the first time he did this, or even now. He just KNOWS I am there with him. Knowing that he is sleeping peacefully and that 6th sense he has, in the middle of a deep sleep gives you a great sense of serenity. Its the best feeling in the world.

Enjoy it all. It may be nerve wracking worrying about every little thing, but all you are doing is protecting your lil angel. Nothing is wrong with that :)
