We Started Daycare!

Today was Madison's second day of daycare and I have to say that it it way better and easier than I expected it to be. Madison has been happy at both drop off and pick up. Miss Jessica and Mrs. Sarah have been fantastic. I do have to say that I am impressed at how two people can so perfectly manage a room full of babies! My mom has been praying that if someone can't get to Madison right away that her angels will show up and play with her and keep her company until a person can get to her. Now if that is not a super image to make you smile, I don't know what it. So while I am at work, Madison is playing with her angels! Mrs. Sarah sent this picture from daycare yesterday to show me what Madison was up to and she looks just as happy as usual!

Two Months!!

Well, well, time does fly when you are having fun. Madison is 2 1/2 months now. That's pretty wild to me. We had her 2 month check up and she had to have 4 shots; three in her legs and one orally. I can definitely see where that makes parents nervous. It was a instant scream and you could see the pain on her face. It didn't last too long though. She weighs 11 pounds 11 ounces and is 23 inches long. Her length is posing a small problem with clothes these days. If the outfit has feet in it - forget it! Her sweet little legs are too long!

I am back at work. I really believe that staying home to have a baby was truly a resting period compared to teaching kindergarten. Going back was tough, my kids were hard to get back on track, but we'll make it. Madison's grandma's were here to help while I went back. Jason's mom took a week and then my mom took a week. What a blessing it was to have them here and to let me go to bed early during the week. Plus, it made going back pretty easy knowing that Madison was safe and sound at the house each day.

Sadly, Madison starts daycare next week. I cry every time I think about this. I never thought I wanted to be a stay at home mom and now I'd do about anything to be able to stay home and love on her all day. We are going to the Denton ISD daycare. We went last Friday to stock her cubby and meet her teachers. They were nice, but I have such an anxiety sending her to daycare. While we were in the room 5 babies were there, each of them crying off and on. Madison of course slept through it, I cried just at the sound and then cried all the way home. We do believe that if we have to do daycare that we are at the right facility for the time being. I do know that it's going to be a hard 11 weeks until summer!

Okay on to happier things ~~ Here's Madison's sweet little face! :-)
