So relieved...gym daycare is great.

Mission: Become a Hot Momma is a go! Haha. I got free week trial and have gone twice this week while leaving Anna in the kids room. There has really only been one other kid there at the same time, except today there was another baby sleeping in a carseat when I picked her up. Anna is all smiles and happy there, and the timing is perfect with her new nap schedule. I can drop her off at 9am, work out until 10am, and we are home at 10:20am just in time for some snuggles before her 10:30am nap. So I think I will take the plunge and join after this trial week! I am excited to have several weeks to get into better shape before we start cycling, and then have a place to keep active once I *hopefully* get pg again. The hour to myself is really nice and it is great to have something to get us out of the house in the mornings, too! Yay!

That's good to know! I've been thinking about going to the gym too but the child care part is what is holding me back. I'm a SAHM mom so my son has never been to daycare so I'm not sure how he'll handle it. But your post gives me hope!

I started putting N in gym daycare at the Y when she was 8 weeks old. It seriously saved my sanity during the year I was a SAHM. Glad you're liking it.

Before I got pregnant, I was in the gym 5 days a week most weeks.  Caroline LOVES the gym daycare.  I am a SAHM, so she loved being able to play with the other kids. 

Now, we only go twice a week (I go to the old lady/pregnant lady water aerobics), and she gets so excited when we get there that she RUNS down the hall to the daycare room. 

I'm a huge fan of my gym's daycare.

Yeah!!  I just started going back to the gym and I love the daycare there..Jake always seems happy when I go back and pick him up.

I actually was on my way there about an hour ago...Got all the way there, was getting Jake out of the car and started looking around for my diaper bag..Realized I had forgotten it at HOME!..There would be no way that I could work out and drop Jake off without it..SO I had to go all the home..SOOO ANNOYING!  We might try and go back this afternoon.

I have about 20lbs to lose before a wedding I have in June and when we cycle again in August!

We LOVE the gym day care!  Obviously, it provides me with uninterrupted time that I can really work on myself.  I've lost 20lbs! 

Additionally, I think its really helped Jacob to understand that even when I leave, I'm still coming back.  He'd never been to a day care before and it did take a couple of days for him to get used to.

But now we get there and he says, "I play.  Slide.  Elmo."  They have a slide there that he loves and the day care provider puts on an Elmo video for him.  The day care lady is the same one 5 days a week, and she adores him.

Its a win-win for everyone!
