I was able to do the same. I didn't have to put my dd's into daycare until the end of the summer and it was very nice to wait. (they were both spring babies) I am a working mom and sometimes it's hard but my children have totally adjusted JUST fine. Once you get in a groove it will all be just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-54513125450328192942009-06-25T09:49:29.258-04:002009-06-25T09:49:29.258-04:00It's so, so hard in the beginning.

It is so hard to leave an infant, but in a few (very) short month Henry will be able to interact with the other babies and you will see that he will enjoy the daycare experience. Is there any way you could take a longer leave?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-46384124552787886682009-06-24T21:39:25.948-04:002009-06-24T21:39:25.948-04:00leaving your baby at daycare is the most heartrend...leaving your baby at daycare is the most heartrending thing any parent can do..especially the first time. just remember, you and Nick are his parents and no matter how much time he spends with other caretakers he's always going to prefer being with the two of you. he loves you no matter what and whatever you have to do to provide for his best interests will never change that. it's pretty impossible to live on one income especially when you have a baby and you want him to have everything he wants and needs. having a gradual introduction to leaving him by having your family take care of him this summer will help and by the time you have to leave him at daycare it may not be as traumatic as you are thinking it will be thinking about it now is probably the hardest part of all since he's been with you totally since he's been born. be brave and try it a little at a time...Henry will probably be content sooner than you will with the situation but he's going to always know you are there for him and love you best. <br />love you lots annieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-21681157427880515972009-06-24T18:32:21.266-04:002009-06-24T18:32:21.266-04:00He's just to cute to ever want to spend time a...He's just to cute to ever want to spend time away from him! Even though you won't be there every second, he will be in your heart and thoughts every second. It will make every second even more special when you will hold him and rock him to sleep, when you teach him to roll over and crawl, when you will still spend those precious moments watching him learn how to smile and giggle, its all going to be there. He just gets to warm a few more hearts with all his greatness!

It is NEVER easy to leave them, but those first few years are so very important and formative. It would be wonderful if you could manage to stay home with him.

I tried working part-time, 12 hours a week, at night when my husband was home, and I only lasted two weeks. I just couldn't leave my son. <br /><br />I hope it all goes well for you!

No joke. I totally understand what you are feeling. I cried more about this each time than pretty much anything else. It didn't get easier even the 3rd time around to leave a tiny baby! But like you said you know it will be ok. Just keep reminding yourself of that because you are right. He will be ok. But that doesn't negate ANY of the feelings you are having. Just keep telling yourself it WILL be ok. But it is definitely normal to be this sad.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493994243641938566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457048610587099176.post-35317353783361580482009-06-24T08:00:00.229-04:002009-06-24T08:00:00.229-04:00OKay, you're making me cry now.

I couldn't do it. I had to be the one to take care of them. So we do without a LOT of stuff so I can stay home with our 3 boys. Whatever you do will be the right choice for you, I just wanted to tell you that a one income lifestyle IS possible if you want it to be. Good luck!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15013152465802223976noreply@blogger.com
