We just welcomed home our new baby about a week and a half ago. So far she has been very high needs, and seems to cry all the time. I was a little worried about Carlos at first (he is still young, 11 months old, and has been home for about 5 months) but he is fantastic. He is great with my 5 year old, so I know he is generally safe around kids, but he is a bit rambunctious :)
He has been such a big stress relief to me. He lays next to me when the baby cries and just being able to pet him is HUGE for me. It has worked out really well, and I am glad we have him :)
