Things alway seem to work out! Our prayers were answered this past week when we found a daycare for Kyle. The lady who runs it is a nice Christian lady with four children of her own. It is actually open 24 hrs Monday-Saturday, which couldn't be more perfect for us! Also, it is two blocks from our house and between our house and George's work. Kyle has stayed there once already and he seemed to really like it and they like him also.
I admit I could have found this place sooner if I wouldn't have been so picky! I had considered this place not an option because of my prejudices and hasty conclusions of what other people might think...but, I finally went and looked for myself and what I found surprised me. It taught me a lesson to not judge things by the cover, which I never really knew I did until now. I am learning that as parents we have to make decisions about how to raise our children on our own and not worry about how other people do it. I need to just take advice as just that--advice and then George and I can ultimately decide on our own how we want to raise Kyle. I have learned alot about myself the last few weeks! I thought I had gotten over caring so much about what people think, and trying to please everyone, but I guess I still have some work to do! Who knew being a parent could be so enlightening!
I started my new job last Monday and the first two days I worked were really rocky. I wasn't expecting the type of patients I had to care for! I was under the impression it was a Surgical/Pediatric floor (hence the name) but, it turns out they get a majority of medical patients. Suddenly, I was caring for drug addicts with amputations and horribly nasty infections. I was changing adult diapers and cleaing bed pans. When I got home that night I didn't even want to touch Kyle before I took a shower! The third day I actually had some ortho pts and it wasn't so bad....so maybe things will get better or I will just have to get used to it. The people I work with are really cool though. I am just trying to keep a positive attitude about it and in the mean time I am hoping to get to transfer to a OB/NSY floor soon!
Our little Kyle is doing great-- check out his totsite for updated info!

I'm so happy you've found a good home away from home for him! That's great! It's not being picky, you'll also learn that being a Mommy means you put so much more thought into every tiny decision you make. Things you once wouldn't have given a second thought to, might now keep you up at night. It comes w/ loving someone SO much! It really is wonderful! Try not to worry what other people think, this is your chance to do it your way - what is right for others, may not be whats right for you, George and the baby. Really try to get that in your head, because as he gets older, it gets harder. When to start decipline, when to start potty training - the list goes on FOREVER. Do what works for Kyle, and your doing it right!
