i finally sat down with next year's proposed (not official) calendar and the sick days i have left to use for maternity leave to work things out.  this baby will have to start daycare at 11 weeks old!  that seems so young.  with cassidy i was able to work things with christmas, february, and april vacations (plus i had more days to begin with) so that she didn't have to start until 17 weeks.  ugh.  at least she'll be at school with me...

I had to go back to work after 6 weeks...you're lucky you can get to 11!  But like you said, the upside is she'll be there with you.  All will be well!

Hang in there. Ben had to start daycare at 6 weeks old too, and he was fine! It'll be ok. (hugs)

I'm almost right there with you.  With Nicholas we had family members who watched him exclusively until he was 14 months old.  With this new baby, while I might get 1 or 2 days from family, it looks like he/she will be starting day care at least a few days a week as soon as I go back to work between 14-16 weeks

Owen started daycare at 11 weeks old. Its ok.  It sounds so young but really, its when the average mom has to go back to work anyway. Hugs!

I can understand why you feel bad about it and you are welcome to sulk away, but how awesome that there is a daycare right at your work! That alone would give me such piece of mind.
