Big week

So there was a lot going on this week, besides me being up really late and getting sick. Again (cold!)!  Earlier this week, I brought Nate to the gym with me. The gym has daycare as one of the ammenities. Basically, they have two or three grandmotherly types in a daycare type of room, with lots of toys and music. I sign him in and out and only I can do that. He can stay there for up to two hours while I work out in eithe ra class or on the floor. This wasn’t the first time that I attempted to do this with Nate. I did it once when Nate was probably around 6 or 7 months old – he wasn’t really all that mobile yet – and I had brought him to another one of the franchises and I wasn’t too impressed by it. It got crowded quickly and the lady that was in charge seemed really overwhelmed really easily. 

I was pretty nervous about dropping Nate off, also, because during the last few weeks, he’s been really clingy and suffering from a lot of separation anxiety when I dropped him off at daycare. And daycare is where he’s supposed to be comfortable, so why would he be settled in when dropping him off at the gym daycare?  I thought he would freak out and I wouldn’t be able to leave him or get on a piece of equipment or I would be able to leave him but the daycare folks would be paging me within minutes.  But neither happened!! He totally took off running when I put him down – he saw a bunch of toys that he really wanted to play with and it’s as if I was chopped liver.  I got to work out – no problems.

So, after having Nate, I had Mirena put in as birth control. And I got it removed last week also.  It was easier to have taken out then to have it put in, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, this means dealing with a monthly visitor again. ::sigh::
