Going to Daycare

Wow!  Who knew choosing a daycare was so crazy.  There is a LOT to consider.  Today Andy and I went to 2 centers and really liked them both.  One is right next-door to my office and one is on the other side of town.  They each have their pros and cons, but I think we really like one over the other.  It felt really weird writing a check to LLA today.  Yes, I wrote my first daycare check.  We have to be on a waiting list since there are only 2 centers that take children as young as 6 weeks, that really limits your options.  It was fun getting in there and looking at everything and meeting the teachers.  Everyone is super nice and the kids all seemed to be happy and enjoyed being there.  I felt really good leaving.  I have to admit, writing a daycare check was strange!  Guess we should get used to it.  I think I am going through a nesting phase now.  Daycare, check.  I am now on to car seats, cribs, pack 'n plays, strollers...the necessities.  Bless his heart Andy just looked at me and started laughing.  I think we have a little time to get all that stuff together.  I must admit, there is so much stuff and it's all so cute and tiny!  I just want one of everything I see.  I am ready to get a nursery together.  I want to start buying all these cute clothes I see.  I want to have everything ready so that when we get the call that we have been chosen that we don't have to do a thing. Not knowing if we will have a boy or girl is kind of keeping me from doing all this. I don't like unisex stuff.  I want all girl or all boy.  This is probably a good thing to be honest, it keeps me from going crazy too soon.  I am the planner and organizer and the one making sure we have a list.  Andy is the laid back voice of reason.  He knows I change my mind like I change clothes.  He keeps me in check.  We are both so excited!  This wait just might be the death of me.  I know God has the perfect child in mind solely for us and we cannot wait to meet him or her!  Hopefully we won't have to wait too awful long.
