Firstly, sorry I have become a lurker lately. Going back to work has left me very little time to nest. Bumps are looking great, though, and congrats to Julia and best wishes for a sticky baby! Yvonne, I hope you feel better soon! Anything else I missed, I'm sorry!
Now for some advice needed. Julia has been in daycare for a week now and she is miserable. She cries most of the day, doesn't want to nap and barely eats. Her teachers are so nice and they have had someone one-on-one with her most of the day. I don't know what to do. I just want to have a happy baby. Any advice for helping her adjust?

Re: Advice Needed
I don't have any advice, but Wyatt has been doing the same thing lately and I'm still at home with him... maybe it is just an age thing? I'm sorry you're going through this, it's rough
I've done both and no help
Maggie was that way her first week or two at daycare. She sleeps with a monkey blanket thing, so we bought another (Identical) one to have at daycare so it is familiar to her. For the first few weeks, she kept it with her most of the day. Now she only sleep with it.
I would give it some more time. Maggie has been in daycare about 2 months now and she loves it. Some mornings she still cries, but once she sees her friends, she is great.
One other thing is that she is used to being with you all the time. I was lucky, Mags was used to being with other people while I worked, so it wasn't a huge adjustment to me not being there, she just had to get used to the new people and surroundings.
this also made me think that when Lance goes back outside to check cows and whatnot and Wyatt gets upset, I show him a picture of Lance and it seems to help. Maybe send a picture of you in with her things for when she is really upset?
Agreed...it may take her some time before she gets used to the new environment.
The only other thing I can think of is that she just doesn't realize you are coming back for her...so may do something where you leave her for a few minutes and then come back...then go longer stretches? I'm not sure how well this will work with a 6 month old though. I know it can work with 1+ year olds, but it could be worth a shot.
She did just cut a tooth on Tuesday, so maybe.
Thanks, everyone. It's so frustrating
