02-8-2008 - Very concerned mommy

My mood while writing this blog:
worried

Okay so there probably isn't anything to be worried about but I am. For the last couple of days I've begun to think Drew might not be able to hear. I know it sounds weird but it's true. Tonight when I put him down to bed he was just sound asleep. I was putting clothes away in his room and acidentally bumped the drawer closed on his dresser and it made this loud noise. I looked over and Drew was absolutely still. I went over near the crib and whistled and then opened and closed the door (rather loudly) and nothing! When I am holding him and making faces he smiles and coos back. I tried doing the same faces only without making any noise and he responded the same way. Somehow I have worried myself into thinking that because nothing really startles him that something is wrong. It doesn't matter what the noise is that we are making; he just doesn't seem to respond. Please convince me that I'm just overly worried and that my son is normal.

Love to you all,

Making herself crazy

I can see how you'd be concerned. Maddi slept on my chest during 4th of july fireworks and new years fireworks and didn't move a muscle the whole time, and they were going off only like 15 ft away so I can see how you'd be concerned!!

Oh Martine....I could see why you would be concerned. It is amazing what babies can sleep through. Drew could of just been so exhausted. I think it is so wonderful the way you are so attentive with Drew. I am sure our sweet boy is just fine.
If you are still concerned you can always call the pedi.

Two things: 1.) see if he responds to strong sounds when he is awake. Make sure the test sounds are not directly in front of him and watch to see if he looks around as he processes the stimulus. Also be sure the sounds are loud enough to warrant the type of response you are hoping to see (maybe a dog barking or door shutting loudly)
2.) Don't ignore your mother's instinct. As you continue on your journey you will do plenty of worrying. Try to stay rational as you evaluate your worries. (You seem to be doing well on this one!)
Good luck!
