How do they know??

[merry]

I've been laying in bed for almost 2 hrs trying to go to sleep but it's just one of those night... Finally fell asleep and 10 min later DS woke up screaming! How does he know I just fell asleep??? If it's not him it's DD or the cat or the dog. Usually it's the moment after I crawl into bed, cover up and close my eyes, but some nights it's right after I fall asleep. Is there some sixth sense I don't know about?!?

That was me last night. They totally know. Reverse baby monitor?

[mrsnorris]

Yep. I suspect they're always watching us...

It's baby super powers.

Yes whenever I try to nap when she does she will do a super short one but when I don't try, she will sleep for long! AND she has taken a couple of 2 hour naps for her nanny which is unheard of!

Survival instinct? Maybe they're wired to need someone awake to watch the camp!

ANYTIME my husband and I try to have sex this happens. It totally kills the mood for me but DH is all "just turn the sound off on the monitor".

This is us every single night. Why don't they understand how awesome sleep is?

My H and I joke that if we want her to wake to eat, I'll just go to sleep. It works much more frequently than I would like.

DS does this everytime I need to get up early...he goes down late and wakes up every two hours.

I feel like it's his way of saying "I am the boss around here"

ETA correct spelling of the word like

Everytime I look at the monitor, DS let's out a groan and begins flailing. I swear he's watching me.
