This week was extremely busy and stressful. Garry came home late Sunday evening from his 2 weeks of training. Ava and I were excited to have him back. Monday, we drop her off at daycare and she starts screaming and crying. We leave feeling horrible and want to go back in and get her, especially since Garry just got home. Ava has always loved daycare and had no problems when she went in for her trial day so we were a little confused. I didn't bring her a sippy cup so we made a quick trip to the Kadena BX to get one for her. She was still crying when we got back, which took an hour, so we decided to take her with us for the day. We spent the day together shopping and working around the house. Our guess is she was upset because dad just got home and she wanted to spend time with him.
The next day Garry goes to work and Ava and I have a great morning. She goes in to the daycare with no problem until she sees her class room then throws herself on the floor crying. Now I'm really confused. I leave her at the daycare. I spend the day doing chores and crying off and on feeling horrible for leaving her there. I go pick her up and she is fine and playing with the other kids in her class. I spoke with one of her teachers and she said she cried most of the morning. Ava is excited to see me and sings the whole way home.
Wednesday, I pull up to the daycare and she starts crying. I bring her in and she is clinging to me and screaming. I go outside with her to play with the kids and spend time talking with one of her teachers. Ava clams down as long as I keep holding her. I was there for about 15 mins and decide to leave. Of course, Ava doesn't take it well. I am extremely upset. I don't know if I should just take her home with me and pull her out permanently or let her cry all day. After speaking with my mom, I decide to give her another day to see how it goes. I don't want to go in while she is crying and make things worse.
Wednesday Afternoon, I go to my dr's appointment. I asked the dr if I will have to come into the hospital during the Typhoon that is expected to hit late Thurs afternoon. She said no. I wasn't dilated and was showing no signs of going into labor anytime soon. We did discuss things to do after the storm left:) 30 minutes after I left the office I get a phone call from the hospital. The lady says I have to report to the hospital for the typhoon. I told her I just spoke with my dr and she told me that it wasn't necessary to come in. The lady says all women who are 36 weeks and above must report to the hospital. Because of limited space I have to come by myself and bring a sleeping bag, my labor bag, and anything else I would like to pass the time. I'm thinking to myself, are you freaking kidding me? I said ok and then called Garry. We decided to listen to the dr. I didn't want to leave them during the storm and he said he would just deliver the baby if I went into labor. Feeling better about that, I go to pick up Ava from daycare. The teachers told me she did much better in the morning but cried when she woke up from her nap. When I got there she was sitting at a table with her sippy cup. She wasn't crying but I could tell that she had just recently stopped. I informed them that she wouldn't be in tomorrow because of the storm. I didn't know for sure what time they would be open till but figured it wasn't worth it.
Thursday, the storm hit sometime in the evening and lasted till Sat afternoon. It was very boring. We were trapped in the house but were lucky because the electricity and cable never went out. We did lose the internet for about 1 day. The winds were extremely loud so Ava had to sleep in our room both nights but other than that she did great. Sunday we went for a little walk just to get out of the house.
We are going to try daycare for at least another week. I hope she learns to love it like the last one she attended. If she still hates it I will take her out and will see about getting a nanny to come to the house at least three times a week to help with the girls.
