In a previous post I mentioned that my mother-in-law was going to be unavailable for the next few weeks to visit so we would be on our own with Kailyn.
As a subscriber to the idea that 'it takes a village' to raise a child, I have been happy to see our friends and other family members step up and help us share the load. Whether it's stopping by and bringing us food or coming over and carrying the baby for a few hours so we don't have to, it is definitely appreciated.
I think the most beneficial thing spending time with our visitors provides is a mental 'break.' Not carrying Kailyn (and for me, not worrying about dropping her or bumping her head into the wall) eases my mind a bit so I can relax and just enjoy conversations. On a recent weekend day, we had a steady stream of visitors- they came, they saw and they carried (the baby) from 3-9 p.m. It was great!
So keep up the good work, all! 'Our' baby thanks you.
