AW: 1st Day DC!

shella923

Just had to be an AW....today was M's first day of daycare. It went so well. We got there at 8 and I hung around until 9, when she took her nap.  The ladies were awesome.  There are a couple who speak Spanish and I asked them to speak Spanish to her as much as possible as I'm trying to teach her as well. She did not cry at all, and I only teared up a little. I think because so many people told me I would that I was pretty prepared, plus I felt like I was leaving her in such good hands. They were blown away that she didn't need to be rocked and goes to sleep on her own (Thank you, Dr. Ferber! lol)  I picked her up at 1 but will let her stay a little longer tomorrow. I was supposed to be setting up my classroom but we're not allowed in til next week...and I'll be away. So DH and I did a couple errands and had lunch out. Tomorrow, mani pedi and do some work at home. Anyway, it was a happy experience overall. 

A few months back, I posted on here that I was having scary thoughts and terrible, debilitating anxiety. Wonderful people on here (@ironmom, among others, it was so long ago) encouraged me to tell DH...I was so afraid. Well long story short my sister dragged me to the dr and I went on an SSRI and started therapy.. BEST THING I EVER DID besides having my LO.  I feel great and it's helped me in so many ways. If this was months ago, last night I wouldnt have slept, I would have had a knot in my stomach all day, and I would have cried my eyes out.  Instead I'm relaxed and have a positive outlook on life. But a thank you to you all has been WAAAY overdue.  XOXO

Glad everything went well today! I am also very happy that your world has gotten better from a few months ago.
