Since having my son I have noticed I wake up routinely throughout the night, is this normal?

So I have noticed that despite him sleeping through until he needs feeding and changing. I will often wake up before him and end up staying up long after he's gone back to sleep.
Today is an example of this. He's at my mum's and I've woken up at 2am and it's currently 4.25am . The rest of the day I'll be shattered.

Absolutely, definitely normal. Your motherly instincts kick in, to make sure he's safe. That is a natural concern that all mothers have unless they have not bonded with their child. You're a good mom. Even animals do this. However, don't make yourself sick with worry. If you're a praying person, you could pray for him and be comforted and rest, knowing the Lord is watching over him, as well.
