I cannot quite describe the absolute fear I felt Friday night. About midnight, I hear Stephen ask me "Is that the SIDS monitor?" I was so tired that I hadn't even heard it and probably wouldn't have waken up for at least another few minutes. I was scared of what I would find when I went into Greyson's room but that didn't slow me down. Within 1/2 a second I answered yes and was out of bed. Stephen said I was out the bedroom door before his foot could even touch the ground, must be my quick "momma instincts". I turned the light on and looked in the crib to a sweetly sleeping baby it seemed and started to shake Greyson to wake him up. I was yelling at him really loud and about this time Stephen joined me at the crib. It was absolute relief when I heard him cry but the whole ordeal kept me up for another hour. All I could do was praise God that my baby was alive and well! I'm not sure if it was a false alarm or if he had really stopped breathing (the alarm goes off after 20 seconds of not detecting any breathing) but that didn't make it any less serious or scary.
In other news, I've been attacked by wildlife lately. A bird has taken residence in my hanging flower basket and I'm pretty sure has laid a nest as well. Every time I water the basket she startles me by flying out of the basket then sits in the tree squawking at me! I have mixed emotions about the whole thing. I don't want to hurt her and her babies, but I sure wish she hadn't laid her nest in my pretty flowers!
Anyway, VBS starts tonight and it's gearing up to be a very busy week for us. My mom is so wonderful to help with Greyson in the evenings though. She's going to bring him home and put him to bed at a reasonable time since I'm doing music... - So I'm really enjoying the peace and quiet of a clean home and sleeping baby!
