Ashish & I FINALLY have finally crossed the threshold...We have finally moved on...We have summoned the courage to step out and leave Priya in the hands of others...We have finally taken the step to leave Priya in the nursery and have regained our ability to go to church, enjoy it, and actually get something out of it! This was a huge accomplishment and a major milestone for us as parents! I know that there are very capable people volunteering to help out in the nursery but we have been so anxious about it for far too long.
We have tried church at home, leaving Priya with Grammy & Grandpa so that we could attend and bringing Priya along (only to end up in the cry room or out in the foyer every time - Priya is a loud and very squealy, communicative baby). We have also tried having one of us go while the other stayed home. But none of these scenarios have been ideal and we have definitely felt the deficit of not being able to attend a church regularly in our lives. So today was a wonderful day!
Priya did great by the way. Just a couple of days ago she dropped from 3 naps a day to only 2 so our evenings are now more free to enjoy with Priya in tow. There were 3 girls in the nursery with only about 6 or 7 babies so Priya was extremely well taken care of. And it helped that one of the girls was someone I knew! Thank you for that extra bonus God! And thanks to Emily for giving me the kick in the butt that I needed to just get over my mommy anxiety and do it! :)

Good for you! Better now than later. It can become a battle, for sure, if you wait too long. Enjoy your new freedom!
