**Lori re: dropping Libby**
Just read your post. I am so sorry, but I want to let you know you are not alone. Once when I was laying in bed watching TV (finally some 'alone' time) and Kai was sleeping peacefully next to me the phone rang. The phone was on the other side of the bed so I literally jumped up and ran to it. I was chatting with my back turned to Kai (trying to be quite) and I am not sure what made me turn around BUT the pillow I was laying on fell onto his face and was covering it. I freaked, dropped the phone and think I had a heart attack. He continued sleeping but I woke him up because I was so scared I suffocated him. I do thank God that the pillow was one of those firm foam ones that doesn't mold. I can, 2 years later, remember that like it just happened! The feelings and the anxiety come back instantly. I bet I remember it to the day I die! Heck I am getting teary thinking about it now. Obviously Kai is fine but I am a "what if" person and think of the worse. I think I have only ever told 2 people about this (my mom and Sean) because I felt like a horrible mother. You are the third and I thought it was important to share because you are not alone. I am sure there will be many more (like my mom says when referencing almost hitting my brother as he was crossing the street). What I did learn from it is that I need to slow down and the phone calls are not important- people can wait. HUGS to you and Ms Libby. 
Oh and lack of sleep will really do a number on you. When it does, just remember that Sean told me when Kai was about 1 month old that the lack of sleep from a newborn was way WORSE than what he went through his first tour in Iraq. He said he got more sleep in a combat zone. lol Puts things into perspective when I remember that.

Wow Amy,
How scary! Thank you so much for sharing...I really appreciate it. I think there are stories like this that mother's just keep to themselves and so we feel like we're the only ones when it happens.
I agree the lesson is and continues to me for to me to slow down, stop multi-tasking and just focus on one thing at a time when it comes to mothering. Not all the time, but way more than I am used to...I am definitely learning patience...especially for MYSELF!
How incredible that newborn lack of sleep is WORSE than combat...that's nuts!
Hugs,
Lori
