Yesterday was my first, official day back to church with Zander--we went to all three hours. I was really excited and SO ready to be back. I feel like I've been out of the loop for several months. We've had new families move in and move out of the ward and new callings everywhere. I missed being in primary a lot. We have primary first thing in the morning and sacrament last. I even got to church on time!
As soon as I got to church yesterday something unexpected happened....I got super nervous. I walked into primary with my giant car seat and sat down in the back (our primary room is tiny so the back was the only place I could put the car seat down), I said my hellos to teachers, friends, and primary kids, and all of a sudden my legs and arms started shaking really bad. I had no control over them. Why was I so nervous?! I had no reason to be, but the fact that I have a new baby for the first time and I'm in a place where everyone knows me made me nervous. All eyes were on me and Zander; any time he made a sound people would turn around and stare at us--watching me to see what I would do. I don't like being the center of attention. At all. I wasn't as nervous by the time sacrament started, probably because Stephen was with me.
When sharing time got over and it was time for us to go to class all the girls in my class stood up and walked to the back of the room and asked what they could do to help me. I was so happy and proud of my kids. They were all so eager to help me with the baby, so one grabbed my diaper bag, another took my coat, and another girl tried tackling the car seat since I was holding Zander. Haha, it was kind of entertaining watching her struggle with the car seat because she was so determined to get it to the classroom. I, of course, didn't make her carry it because that thing is incredibly heavy, but all my kids love that I have a baby now, even the boys. I was planning on just sitting and listening to the lesson, but the other teacher I teach with didn't show up, so I ended up teaching! Good thing I always come prepared and read the lesson every week. Since I had to teach I had to find Stephen so he could take Zander and feed him. The kids were a little disappointed, but we had fun.
Everyone was excited to see Zander when we got to sacrament meeting. I'll admit it was fun to show him off to everyone, but Stephen still has a cold and wasn't feeling well so we had to leave right after the meeting was over instead of talking to everyone.
