Last night we had our first earthquake experience since LO was born. It was a 3.0 - incredibly minor - but closeby. It was enough to wake me from my nap on the couch and it made enough noice for DH to hear it through headphones.

As soon as it hit DH ran up the stairs to check on LO. She was asleep in her crib. On the other hand, I did nothing and I'm disappointed in myself. In reality there was nothing to do. It was a 3.0 and over before I even got off the couch. I used to pride myself on being calm and levelheaded in emergencies (this was not one) but as a mama I felt like I should have been doing more.

Have you been surprised by your reactions in emergencies?
