No More Tears....For Momma

Today was the second time we put Abigail in the church nursery. This was a big deal for us, especially for me. I didn't prepare myself for how hard it would be to give my daughter to total strangers. So when we did two weeks ago, I cried. More like wept for the first 45 minutes of our service. Then I got her 5 minutes early. I couldn't stop thinking about how she was doing, would she cry, would she take her nap and how that would work out and the fact that I didn't give her a hug/kiss goodbye was just as hard. We go to a large church and it's difficult to know all of the caregivers. But Abigail did great. No tears for her. Today went just as great, even better! And when Jake and I went to pick her up she had a great big smile and laughed for us. I did better this week also. No tears and I listened fairly well too. It was hard not to think about how Abigail was doing but it is time for her to stay in the nursery. We will be traveling over Christmas and miss our church. However we got to enjoy the full band and choir today, the carols and hymns we sang and the great message. I was pretty excited about that. We are thankful for all of those who volunteer to watch our kids. I know that they are in good hands!
