my first grin and baby nurses

So I think I got my first bonafide non-gassy grin today! It was fleeting but super cute :) We have our 1 month appt check on Wednesday and we will see how much he has grown and what the latest and greatest is. He has started sleeping a little longer at night which is nice! His legs are long and thin and he is super adorable. I figured I am going to use this blog to mark his milestones till I have time to write it in his baby book..

So my support system aka my parents are going out of town for a week for a vackay for my mother's bday. So we interviewed a night nurse that can help out for 3 nights to take the baby while I am sleeping. But its hard. Really hard- I have to trust a total stranger with my baby. She came to the house today and we met her and she took the baby and the baby slept in her arms the entire time she was here. And I was alternatly thinking "wow it would have been so nice if I had the money to hire a nanny for the baby" and I was thinking "she has my baby!!! I want him back! NOW!".. So I am torn whether or not we should hire her. I mean I will be alone with the baby for 3 days- which is a nice thing but of course I will want to sleep and/or a break.

My mother said sleep on it and that is what I shall do. She has 3 kids of her own and I would say is in her mid-late 40s... seemed friendly and personable. Gave my mother and I a hug when she left. But I don't know. Sleep is a positive thing and lets me handle the baby better during the day.

If we don't use the night nurse, then a neighbor is going to come over around 6amish so I can get like 2-3 hrs uninterrupted sleep before the day starts. But if the night nurse comes I would get like 7-8 hrs of sleep. A luxury I haven't had in a while...

I don't know.. I will keep processing. Otherwise baby is good. Normal baby stuff- sleeping, eating, using the restroom, being cute.. Okie, here's another pic! Enjoy :)
