911

Cody and I had our first experience calling 911 last week.
We were both fast asleep at 3am and got woken up to what I thought was a fire alarm. We both hopped out of bed and it stopped. It was definitely was going off but there was no fire. Then I realized it wasn't the fire alarm but the carbon monoxide detector. We figured it was no big deal sense it only went off for a minute and decided to go back to bed. But as I was laying there I had a bad feeling. I made Cody call the fire department and ask them what we should do. They asked a few questions and when they found out we had a little baby, they really thought it was best to come check the house out to make sure we didn't have a gas leak. So they asked us to hang up and call 911. We had to evacuate the house until the fire department came. Cooper was so good:) he just sat on my lap. He loved all the firemen, he even got a cute little stuffed animal. Anyways everything checked out fine, no gas leak. They left and we went back to bed. It was easier to sleep knowing we were safe. Coop was an angel, I put him back in bed and he went right to sleep. Such a good baby!
Then the next night the fire alarm went off at 1 am. We did not call the fire department. I went straight back to bed:) I hope this doesn't become a regular thing...

Kara, This has happened to us many times and it usually means for whatever reason it's time to change the batteries in your detectors. Worth a try, Love you and the blog! Aunt Lisa
