Other news: we found an apartment. It's on the second floor of a house, two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a pantry, a living room, and an attic. Plus we have a back yard! We are also within walking distance from a playground. Amazing! The only downside is that there is no laundry machine or dishwasher in the apartment... well, that, and the apartment is right next to where I work ... half an hour form Laila's daycare (which is next to where we live now), which means that on days when she goes to daycare and Enzio also has work, I will have a lot of annoying driving to do.
Anyway, onto the real bit of news - today was Laila's first day at daycare! It was ... very stressful for me. She apparently did pretty well - she took three half hour naps and drank four bottles (two 4 ounce ones, a five ounce one, and an eight ounce one). I, however, cried. A fair amount. I held myself together pretty well until I went to pump at work and found the nipples to Laila's bottles! So I had to leave work and bring them to her at daycare. When I found them I totally broke down. When I returned to work after my boss asked how things went and I started to cry again. I just had this huge knot in my stomach all day, and all I wanted to do was leave work and pick up Laila from daycare. It was a tough, miserable day. I know that eventually I will get used to it, I just wish that was now. I hate leaving her. I was kind of hoping to quit once Enzio's health insurance kicked in at his job, but we found out today that he doesn't get health insurance because his position isn't high enough - only managers and higher get insurance apparently. What a load of bullshit. Enzio is going to finish working on getting his personal training certification and then hopefully he will get a job doing that that also offers benefits.
Oh, right, I also got into NYU for grad school! :D
You are a freakin' rock star!
