My mood while writing this blog: exhausted & relieved

Today was a great day for me. First I found a baby sitter and she is all I wanted in a sitter. Everyone laughed at me when I said I wanted a grandma who was bored to care for my baby. Someone with a lot of extra love to share. A person who does it cause they love children. Well I found her, she is an older women in her 60's who started caring for kids 30 yrs ago due to her own child being sickly. She kept a good friend daughter from age 4 weeks until age 5 when her husband died and she stepped away from the field. I bugged my friend to ask her and it turns out that after 4 yrs she is ready to start again caring for children. My baby is her first to sign up and the great part is she is only charging me $85 a week. I explained I get paid bimonthly and would break it down to the daily amount and she said no. Just pay me as if for two weeks it is not worth hackly over a few dollars. I am so over joyed and can rest now for when I go back. She said all she ask is I am fair with her and respect our business arrangments. She also told me if while now recovering from having baby I need someone to watch him just bring him over and she is there no matter what time of day or night. "THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!"

I also went to dr to follow up and get staples taken out. I still had an opening with alot of drainage. Boy it hurt taking them out and disinfecting the area. I have to have a nurse come by every day to clean the area. Otherwise the dr said I am doing great and he has talked about me and my pregnancy with so many things against me how I overcame and had made it to the end with no complications. I will admit he got on me to rest and stop doing everything. Even though I dont feel ill my insides need to mend. So I have told my now middle son to come help with his brother.

I left the baby with his middle brother while I went to dr and when I came home both older sons were here. The 24 yr old had bathed him with help of his 4 yr old daughter. The 20 yr old survived feeding and Cort was sleep on his shoulder having ate on time with a dry diaper. I was proud of both. I told the 20 yr old if he didnt know how to do something ask my granddaughter and he laughed. However when he couldnt figure out how to work the infant glider seat or where Cort pacisifer was you better bet he turned to her and she knew. She also told him how Cort likes his bottle held and his back patted to burp. When I got back he said ma she really does know his needs and how to comfort him from crying. I was like yep thats his niece there to take care of all his needs.

Well ladies thank you again for all your support it has held me up when I thought I would fall and wanted to and just cry.
