We survived!

Well, we survived our first week of life back to normal! Charlie had a great time at daycare, and did much better than mommy did, of course! ;) Actually, I think I did pretty well, I only cried on the first day and called to check in once over lunch. Each day I dropped him off it was easier and easier to leave him. It helps that we are so happy with the daycare provider we chose, she is so nice and since he is the only infant she has right now he gets lots of hands on attention! She sends him home each night with a progress report of the day and it helps me to see that he eats and sleeps the same as he would if he were home with us. She tells me everyday about what a good baby he is . . . but we already knew that, right?! We are also lucky to have been able to work it out so that he is only in daycare three days a week. Aaron and I have arranged our work schedules so that he is home with us Thursday and Friday, with Grandma Linda as a back up if ever necessary! I am really happy to only work four days a week now (Monday-Thursday), it feels like a nice compromise between being a mommy and a social worker. Everyone at work was so nice all week, checking in with me everyday about how we were adjusting. I feel so blessed that this has turned out to be such a smooth transition and thank everyone for all their support!
