Church Nursery

After 7 months we finally put Anna in the church nursery. We arrived at church and Anna was wide awake (usually her nap time) so we took her out of her car seat and walked over to the nursery area. In a church with several thousand attending on any given sunday, the nursery/child area was rather busy.... now what? Luckily we saw one of our friends taking his son in as well and so we were able to ask questions and figure out how to sign in. Then it was time to pass Anna over the counter to the lady inside the infant area and get our pager :(. The first-time mommy in me was wanting to know exactly what Anna would be doing, how many kids would be in there, what the lady's qualifications were, etc., but as I watched others hand over their kids I knew she would be in good hands. We made it through the entire service without being paged and then hurried over to the nursery area to pick Anna up. As we walked down the hallway I heard crying and knew one was Anna. She was laying on her back on a playmat and fussing- actually several of the babies were crying, it was sad. Despite the fussing, Anna will return to the nursery next Sunday and things will hopefully go a little better.
