I'm sure you've all had the debate. If you are getting a monitor, do you get video or sound only? In this petite mama's house dearest hubby felt video wasn't worth the cost. I, being a new mom, felt otherwise. So, I decided to post-pone buying or asking for a monitor until our daughter was here and we could see what we needed then.
The day finally came when Daddy decided that it was indeed a good thing for us to have a video monitor. We would put her upstairs and we would be downstairs while she was sleeping. Since babies are so active in their sleep, we didn't always know if she was awake or just dreaming. So, we'd walk up and down the stairs, quietly creep in the room, only to discover her waking up because we were in the room. <sigh>
Then came the video monitor. We can peek on her to our hearts content, and she will never wake up because of it. I'm sure that we check on her way too often, but as new parents it is comforting to know our little bundle of joy is safe and sound when no longer by our side.
