We are having a friend over for ninety minutes. She's going to watch the baby while we ... you know. We're not letting her watch (my wife is that way with friends) but she can listen in on the baby monitor.
First, he doesn't have a crib yet, just a basinette. Second, he will not sleep in his basinette, ever. Third, it helps my performance to have our friend listening - we did it before the baby too.
