Lucy went to nursery for the first time today. I went with her, since it was her first week, and would probably be scary. She did really well! I was really proud of her for participating during singing time and sitting nicely through the lesson.
BUT...when play time came, they brought the bigger kids in (our nursery is so big it's divided into two classes) and she really got pushed around. She's very small, and pretty passive. So other kids took her toys, pushed her down, and wouldn't let her play at the bigger toys like the play kitchen sets and stuff. It really, really upset me. I know this is all normal kids stuff that everyone goes through. She seemed fine; she only got upset a few times.
It's just so hard to watch. It's really starting to hit me that she's getting the age where I can no longer control all of her environment. I can't control 100% of the time how's she's treated or how she feels. I'm protective; I know. I just wish she could always be happy, safe, and treated fairly. First nursery, preschool isn't too far off...she's only 18 months! They don't tell you when you bring home your bundle of pink from the hospital that you have less than two years to shelter her, then it's hello world.
This is so much harder than I could have ever anticipated. I just love my daughter.

Not lovin' the new doc
My OBGYN with Lucy was fantastic. Dr. Craig never said one word about my weight, except that it was normal, and not to think about it. Except at the very end when my blood pressure shot up, she noticed faster weight gain, and decided to induce me. Anyway, she never made me feel bad about it, and I lost it all pretty fast after Lucy was born.
My NEW doctor, however, is one of those who believes women really don't need to gain weight when they're pregnant. At my 21 week apt I'd gained 11 lbs, and she said we should "watch my weight". Ok, that is significantly less than I'd gained with Lucy, plus I'd recently lost 25 lbs right before I got pregnant. I was eating only about 1300 calories a day, and running 3-5 miles every day. OF COURSE I GAINED WEIGHT WHEN I COULDN'T DO THAT ANYMORE!!!
Grrr. I don't like being told I'm fat.
