Hi ladies,
We've nearly completed our shopping list, and have a TON of stuff for LO. But I still haven't bought a monitor yet. My MIL mentioned that we probably don't even need one, and now I'm wondering if that's the case. Until now, money hasn't been an issue, but we just found out that DH's company is laying everyone off for the winter because work slows down so much during the cold weather. If I can avoid spending more money, I'd like to.
The baby will be sleeping in a bassinet right beside our bed for the first several months, and will nap in his pack n' play when we're on the main floor of our house. The house is quite small and old too, so I can hear everything from any room usually.
What do you think? Should I get the monitor for peace of mind, or skip it? I could always wait and get it later if we see a need for it, I guess...
Thanks
