Today, a friend of ours came over with her little newborn baby. She works with Nathan and was wanting to find a nice family with a stay at home mom to watch their baby. She only works six days a month so that'll be nice. They have a little eight year old and are a really nice christian family. Anyway, I volunteered for it several months ago and I'll be starting watching Emily on the sixth of August. It was soooo nice to hold a little baby again. And, this baby is soo unlike Alex in every way. She was so happy the whole entire time and her mom, Nicole, said that's how she is all the time. She said she's had two bad days so far. I was in shock. How do babies like this even exist? I hope I have one like that! If she's as easy as she was for the time Nicole was over it should be pretty simple. I'm excited to break out the baby swing and bouncy chair. I think this will be good for Alex to get used to having a baby around too. She said that they'd love for me to watch her after we have ours but understand if I don't want to. I said I probably would watch her but we'll just wait and see. It's only six days a month and I feel like this is something God wants me to do for this family. I don't know how I would handle leaving my little baby in someone else's care. I think having someone with the same values and beliefs as you is important too. Well, I'm kind of looking forward to this new challenge.

I remember you telling me about this awhile ago. So how old is her daughter? Ya, that would be really tough for me to leave my baby with someone too. It's nice that you're doing this for them! I bet it's comforting to the parents that their baby is in good hands. Can't wait to hear how it goes!
:( I don't wanna have to leave my baby with someone else, that would suck.
Ya, I think she's really thankful it's only six days a month. She said that her and her husband's deal is that she just has to make enough to pay their house payment.
I hope it goes well. Sounds like she's a really good baby. When do you find out what you are having (that is if you're finding out)?
We're finding out on the 30th! We're really excited!
