Today, Kimberly and I went to visit a daycare.
As far as daycares go, it was a good place--the teachers clearly love the kids. The director got teary-eyed when she talked about how difficult she knows it is to leave your baby with someone else. The preschool-aged kids all seemed very happy to be there. When the older kids came with their parents to pick up their younger siblings, they lit up when they saw the director and ran up to her and gave her hugs. The place was full of love, for sure.
Still, I went home and sobbed. I just can't imagine leaving my infant in that room. Not because it was a bad place--not at all--but because she's my baby. I just don't want to leave her with someone else all day, no matter how wonderful that person is.
Tell me it gets easier.

It'll be ok. I promise!
It does get easier, especially when you are comfortable with the daycare provider, but leaving her for the first few times will be one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. Kimberly is right though, it will be ok.
