Decisions, decisions

Tuesday, December 16, 2014

Today we are visiting our first daycares for Miss Evelyn. It's nerve wracking. I mean these people will take care of my little sweet baby for hours during the day. There are so many choices, but only a few that work with two working parents and one mama who works an hour away from home.

We have to have a place that opens before 7 or close to and has pick-up later as well. And we need a place that is loving and kind, warm and gentle and close to home. Its so much to think of!

I have researched and gotten recommendations, but you just never know. It just tears at my working-mom heart to know little Evelyn will be in the care of someone else so that her father and I can provide a good life for her. So, kudos to working-mom who make it work and kudos to SAHM's for their work too. Either choice you make is a hard one.

    I can imagine this is one of the most difficult things to figure out--it takes a LOT of research and in the end, trust and faith. I just had a conversation about this with my coworker this weekend (who took the year off to be a SAHM, and maybe another one). I have faith that it will work out for you guys, and baby Evie!! :)

    That process is honestly probably one of the hardest things you will ever have to do as a mother. I remember it well. But, have no fear, you will find the right place and Evie will be JUST fine wherever she ends up. Caleb did great at his daycare from 3 months until 7 months (it was definitely me that couldn't handle it, lol!) The ladies loved on him all day long and then he got loved on at home by Mommy and Daddy. It's tough, but your daughter will love you and look up to you for working so hard to provide for her and be a role model! Love you! Hoping you find a place that just feels right - you will know when you find it!

    Oh gees...I can only imagine how hard this decision will be! Sooooo many things to consider...and then throw in the logistics part on top of that. Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way! You'll make the right decision for the best place for your little princess!
