Count Down

The count down to my return to work has really kicked into high gear. I only have about a day and a half before the big day. I'm very thankful to my friends Lori Cheatham, Joslyn Johnson and my mother in law Ruth for watching her until we get a spot in the daycare. I think starting out with friends rathter than daycare will actually make the transition back into the real world a little easier. If you see me Thursday and I seem a little weird--you know what the problem is. I'm hoping I can at least make it through the day at work with no tears and I'm sure Lori is already expecting to hear from me at least a few times throughout that first day :-)

I did call the daycare yesterday and she is at the top of the waiting list. I know this is a good daycare but I can't help but having images of her laying in a crib for hours at a time--only getting attention when she cries!! I'm sure this will change once we get her in and start interacting with the staff on a daily basis. Luckily for me (unlucky for daddy) he will be dropping her off most days as I have to leave earlier than he does.

Don't know what daycare you're using, and I remember having the same feelings, but I can almost assure you that your little dumpling will not be laying in a crib all day. Ashtyn has been in two daycares, and she was almost always being held at both!!! Anytime I'd run over to "check" on her, someone would be holding her! I'll be praying for your nerves! =o)

Hope today went okay for all 3 of you!! Adalyn is too cute for her not to be held all the time so I wouldn't worry too much!!!
