You all have been a huge help... what would I do without this board?

Thanks everyone.
That's what I want to hear, other mom's experiences. So far I've not gone crazy other than the occassional cry here and there. I think you all said the same thing, as long as the anxiety is not taking over my life I'm ok. Once it changes then I should start worrying.

minkydog, I've heard/read about the logic of women with PPD. I know I'm not at that point. I'm glad to hear that you're better.

phew... being a mommy is hard...

And thank you for the monitor information. We actually have it too, but for some reason it keeps going off when she's at the edges of the bed. She would roll to the end and then the alarm would go off. Driving us crazy from worry. So now we only use the sound part of it.

Did you try putting up closer to where she sleeps?? I remember when I used it for DS's I put it under the upper 1/2 of the mattress, not quite in the middle. The alarm is what saved my sanity. I would forget to turn it off sometimes during middle of the night feedings and scare the crap out of DH and myself , but I loved it.
