Another lesson

Have you checked out all the new fan dangled things they have for babies and looking after babies now. Everything you can think of.

The kids have this monitor thing that has a camera in it. They can be working all over the house and see just what baby is doing in her room. (This will be handy as a teen I think). Anyway..... this 'monitor' has a TV screen about 2 x 2 and a sound amphlifier so you can hear if she starts to cry. Very handy indeed.

Well, Dad is on shift work so I am here by myself and a tad nervous about not waking up if baby needs me in the night. I take this monitor thingy into my room and gosh, is she still breathing? Turning up the volume I can hear the sweetest little sounds and sighs of a good nights sleep. I am beginning to like this little machine.

Off to sleep I go, still a little nervous I won't wake so I turn up the volume a bit more. All is quiet so I drift off. IIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! A squeal to wake the dead comes through this bedeviled machine and I go straight up! I'm awake! I'm awake! Almost! Peeling myself off the ceiling I rush to her room and she has rolled over and gone back to sleep. It's enough to make gramma's all over the country take to the drinkin', just to get their nerves settled again.

I lay there the rest of the night - with the volume turned way down - trying to relax and sleep.

Maybe tomorrow night.
