Nana's Visit

My mom was very patient to wait until Colin was 5 weeks old to make her first trip here.  She was so excited that I think she could have flown herself here.  She arrived on Thursday and left reluctantly on Monday morning.  I'm sure she would have stayed longer if she could have.

She was a great help to me (and Matt) by just helping keep things clean and making sure that I ate and got all my "chores" done.  I actually miss having her here.  Some days I just feel like I have no time to get everything done and take care of Colin.  Plus, I need naps and I can't get naps when I know he is awake and needs me.  My mom helped me feel comfortable taking naps while he was awake. 

Matt and I even went out for our first date without the baby while Nana babysat for us.  It was a little strange for me because it was the first time that I was not in the same vicinity as Colin.  I've never been away from him for longer than a few minutes.  We went to a movie and were gone for over 3 hours!  I knew he was in good hands, so I didn't worry (much).  I was happy to get home and see his adorable little face, though.

I'm looking forward to Nana's next trip in October that will also include Papa as well.  Maybe Matt and I will go out to dinner AND a movie.

Thanks for helping Nana!
