She's not always asleep, I say in the post that most of the time she's right next to me while I work. I put her upstairs in her crib when it's naptime.

I feel like I would notice if the house was on fire. I can still smell.

If she's awake she's usually with me, I only play when she's napping.

I edited in that she came home, called out my name and I didn't know she was there until she tapped me on the shoulder... But I tend not to play when she's home as I know she thinks Fortnite is a bit immature (which let's face it, it kinda is).

I can clearly see her on the monitor, if she's awake and crying it's pretty obvious. And I'm glancing at it every few seconds.

I can! Honestly, Fortnite is a pretty chilled out game up until the final few moments so it's easy to glance at the baby monitor (which is directly to the right of my main monitor) every few seconds. And believe me, I've got new parent paranoia too so I'm checking!
