How do they know????

Ok- so I am holding a sleeping Rowen in my right arm, squatting down and trying to open the PJ's dresser draw with my left hand. I loose my tripod balance and fall back to the floor. I am squatting, so no worries I only fall about 6-10 inches on to my butt. But, I do fall and rock back. I look down at my son, who had not even stirred, much less awoken.

I think to myself. It is time..... 4 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours. It is time to put Rowen in his crib to sleep. He is ready. Look at how deep his slumber is.

I scramble up from the floor. Check- no stirring.

Walk to the baby's room. Check- no stirring.

Lay Rowen slowly down in the crib.... Bottom first- no stirring.

Lay down Rowen's head slowly, hand still under head and hand still on top of belly- no stirring.

Slowly lift hand from back of head, other hand still on belly and ------ SCREAM.

How do they know????

I guess we will have to try again another time.
