As soon as we got home from the hospital my mother has been helping every second of the day. Doing laundry, burping Finn, preparing delicious dishes, buying groceries...you name it, she's done it. I don't know how people have babies without my mother's help...or their own for that matter. She even slept with Finn in her own bed getting him to sleep longer, and confirmed that yes, he is a noisy sleeper. The kid talks in his sleep. We have to put him around the corner in the bathroom/vanity area and drown out his noises with the fan. I went through a bit of separation anxiety not having him next to for the first few nights...I still jump up to check if he is breathing. And yes, Jared that was my hand on your chest last night, I still occasionally check to see if you're breathing also.
My sister Emma came out to visit last week to help out with Finn and in general get some baby time. She was there on cue ready to burp Finn or give me some rest. She also taught me several things about getting him on a good sleep schedule and the importance of swaddling.
Thank heavens for a sister who forged her way into motherhood before I did.

As a bonus she brought this little guy for lots of entertainment. I sure do wish they lived closer. My favorite part was when he was trying to pawn off his stinkiness onto Finn. Me, "Hudson, are you stinky?" Hudson, "noooo, I think maybe it's baby Finn:)" Nice try kiddo.
