Tegan, I would do it in this situation - getting time with your DH is very important. Another thing to consider, most child care workers babysit too. If you would be more comfortable with that, you could ask at a local child care centre. Before my ILs moved to Brissy in Dec we asked Jack's carer from day care to sit with the boys one night and she was fantastic. It did help of course that Jack already knew her, but it was also good knowing that she was qualified and experienced with young kids and also has first aid qualifications.
