I know it's hard! When we found Aly, I stayed at home with her the first day, my mother-in-law the next day, and then a baby nurse that had been filling in until we found someone with her the third day. Probably a little overkill, but it was important to me to feel good about the relationship our nanny would have with our children, and also that Aly had lots of resources to ask questions for trouble shooting. You'll find someone, just listen to your instinct :-) Along the lines of date night, some girlfriends and I have talked about switching nights. Once your baby is asleep, (which for us is 7:30) there isn't much else they need! Perfect time to head out for a couple hours or go see a movie. Try swapping with a friend, you stay with their babes after the babes are in bed, while your husband stays at home with yours. You can catch up on "People", and they get a night out! Then they can do the same for you! It's a win-win and it's free! Hi Sarah! I know it’s hard!

Somehow we've had some bad luck with babysitters. not with the baby but with the cats wanting to attack her or the dishwasher flooding the kitchen.. it really takes a special someone who can handle all the elements surrounding the little ones. For now we will stick with the nurse that we found. It's hard living away from our families and we know date night is a must to keep your sanity.

And once you find someone that loves you and you can mesh with...well then she's a keeper!
