When your DH, child or pet is sleeping... just watch them to make sure they are still breathing?

Sounds kinda silly sometimes, but especially with my dogs when they are laying really really still... I find myself watching them to make sure that they are still breathing! But I do it with DH too in the mornings if I wake up before him.

Sometimes I think I'm a little paranoid. lol

Not so much with dh. His snoring is a giveaway :lol

I do it with the rats though.

I do with my kitty; he's an old man, he can't die on me yet!

I do it w/ DS...B/c sometimes he snores and when he doesnt it scares me :hehe

with dd and the dog i do. i can pretty much tell with dh because he twitches or moves enough.

When Munchkin was brand new, I would watch her to make sure she was still breathing. She was so little and new and I'd never really been that close to an infant (other than my little brother but I was 3.5 so that doesn't really count). Besides being a little paranoid, I was enraptured so I watched her a LOT.

I still go in and check on her every night before I go to bed. I'm so glad she's a sound sleeper b/c I'll mess with her hair or pat her face... LOL I'm a sap. (it's the only time she's quiet!)

Yes. I do it with DF sometimes, usually after I have a bad dream. And with Eddie D Dawg, I do, cause he's older than Jesus.

Yes, i do that sometime with my DH, like if he is sick or when he snore and then just stops snoring. I want to make sure he is alive, i get pretty scared sometimes

db won't sleep facing me for that reason. so sometimes if i wake up before him or in the middle of the night i will watch him, not because i'm scared, just cause he's so cute when he sleeps! i work at a daycare though, and when im in the nursery i'm always checking to see if the babies are still breathing!

I did it when Taylor was a baby ALL the time. I still go in and check on her every night before I go to sleep.

Yes, I do that with my cats sometimes!

I also did it allot when I was a nanny!

i used to do that with my mom because she was always very ill

Yes, especially with DD :yes

Yup!! I'm just like you Julie!!! I watch the girls ALL the time! Dh breaths pretty heavy when he sleeps, but when he doesn't then I'm always checking on him!!!

yes all the time with me DD

I do with my boys. Not so much with dh is makes noise when he sleeps.

Yes. I think we all do that on occasion.

I do with DS all the time....I stand there for a second then touch his back or put my hand near his face :lol

I do it with my son all the time. He has seizures when he is sick and he stops breathing during them. He is 4 and I still have a baby monitor in his room just incase.

I do it all the time with all 3 of our kiddos! I only do it with my DH when he stops snoring! LOL

omg!! all the time. :lol
glad i'm not the only one.

DH snores so no not with him.

My little puppy though I do, when he sleeps he hardly moves it's hard to tell he's breathing. My pit bull snores though so I know he's alive :)

Yes. I do it with the animals too....

Not so much with dh. His snoring is a giveaway :lol

I do it with the rats though.


:teehee my DH is the same way!!! And i don't have rats..lol but i do check on my daughter all the time still to make sure she's breathing...it's been a habit since she started sleeping on her stomache..

all the time!!! I thought I was a freak...but I always check to make sure Gracie (my dog) is breathing!

When my DS is asleep yes. He got into this habit of covering his face with a blanket and it scares me.

i do it with my nieces.....

I used to do it with the dog I had before because sometimes he'd be really still and didn't look like he was breathing. It scared me so much!!
