Let me explain what happened today. I am 15 weeks pregnant. I was really sick and exhausted today. I layed down with my 2 year old around noon, to get him to take a nap. I was starting to drift out as well when my 4 1/2 yr. old asked if he could ride his bike to his friend's house (just around the corner, is allowed to go often), I told him yes, but if his friend wasn't home or able to play to come right back. I started to fall asleep as I heard him getting ready to leave. The last thing I remember was hearing the garage door open. I woke up at 1:45. I didn't know where he was, I was in my pajamas and couldn't go out to look for him. I called the friend's house and luckily he was there. The mom was a little confused as to why I was just calling now to see if he was there as he'd been there for 2 hours. My thought afterwards was, what if he wasn't there? How dangerous is it for a mother to be sound asleep and/or in the bathroom throwing up or too sick to move from the couch. This potentially could be a dangerous situation for your older children. Anyone else have similar experiences? How did you deal?
