Spica Here We Come!!!

We had an appt. with Preston's hip surgeon yesterday and the date has been set!
May 22 is THE day. I am so glad we finally have a date so we can plan around that.

This week has been extremely stressful week for me as we are in the process of looking for a nanny or daycare. Sorry to say, MIL will be leaving soon.

We are currently on a wait list for a daycare but nothing is for sure until September and most of the places I called, the wait list is 8 to 12 months! Can you even believe it! :(

Nanny's average rate is $15/hour and if you do the math it comes to be around $2800/month for full time care. I am not sure if I can justify $2800/month and some even asked for paid vacation and health care! I am really beginning to realize how hard it is to be a mom and want to work and grow professionally. Does it have to be this hard?
I have couple of options right now and none of them sound very good at the moment but I am hoping something will come about. Will keep you posted!

we did ALOT of searching of childcare options and $15/hr for nannies were on the low end of the range. some wanted $25/hr and they didn't even cook food, you had to have it prepared for them. crazy. hope you guys find something that works. how long is preston going to have to wear the cast?
