Tomorrow is Riley's first day of daycare. I'm beside myself about this. I know that it's good for her and she'll be social and learn more...but...
I just don't know what's come over me. I cry quite easily about this. I'll be leaving her with strangers. In any universe, that does not sound like a good idea. Not only will I be leaving her with strangers, but I'll be leaving her there for 8+ hours. And those strangers are taking care of other kids. There are 4 babies to every one adult. That seems like an extraordinary amount to deal with, right? (I know this is the norm though)
I know these feelings are "normal", but they are very hard to control. I doubt that I'll be getting much done at work tomorrow. Hopefully the hours will go by fast.

Hi--my name is Amy, and I am the mom of 2 boys in Heaven. I also had a TAC and have a 5 month old daughter now. I just found your blog, but wanted to say hello.
Oh, Honey...I'm thinking of you tonight and you'll be one of my first prayers in the morning (I'm going to put a note card with your name on it on the bathroom mirror!). Just because you know your feelings are normal does not make it easier. This much I know. I will be praying for God's comforting love to blanket all three of you.
Hugs!!!
All I can liken this to is leaving the babies in the NICU. It is so hard to trust someone else to watch over your babies. I can only imagine what it is like when those folks arent nurses and are just regular people.
Sending big hugs for her first day- and yours.
Thinking of you today. I can't imagine how hard this is. I have had the same thoughts because we will eventually be putting D into daycare too. Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with it quite yet though.
Thinking of you today. I hope the day is flying by and you get home to your sweet girl soon.
Hugs momma.
Hope the first day went okay. Don't worry about getting much work done. Ease yourself into it and make sure to treat yourself - maybe get a starbucks on the way to work.
I can only imagine how you feel. I can't stand leaving Gwen for a few hours with my family! I am sure this is so difficult for you. I hope it gets easier as time goes on and you are able to enjoy your precious time with your little girl. Hugs.
You have every right to feel this way- of course you are conflicted and worried about leaving her there.
It will be ok.
