Sorry you are going through this. Daycare waitlists are incrediblely stressful. I was in the same boat at the start of Jan. We were on a waitlist since I was 3 months pregnant and they were unsure if she would get in. Well, I started back to work on the 12th of Jan and she still hasn't gotten in and it's likely not until September. I scrambled and found a home daycare that was accepting 10 month olds - it just so happened someone was opening a brand new home daycare. Do you have a backup plan in case? I hope you don't need a backup and it works out for you.

Ooo this is my second bf. I am on like 4 wait lists and the one that does have an opening I will not be sending LO to because it's terrible. So I'm scrambling for home daycares too. Add on that I did have a spot in a home daycare and the person who was supposed to be leaving decided to stay and I lost my spot. Win.

Yes we kind of do my husband doesn't go back to work until June so I'f we needed to he could watch her we are just hoping he gets signed close to where we live if he does we could put her in part time or have someone come to our house part time in the worst case scenario! I just can't believe the wait lists in Canada where we live sooo crazy!!

kaitkat I'm also in Canada and was shocked. We aren't even in a major city! I also looked into Care.ca as a last resort to hire someone to come to my home for the few hours I actually had to be at work in the classroom (I teach at a college). I've heard good things about the site of you were looking that route.
Hubs and I are pretty much on the same page most of the time. I think I'm more critical since he's home with them all the time and there are things I feel he should be doing. Then I'm blamed for being "boss."
We talk a lot about how we want to parent, but sometimes I have to tell him to do shit since he is the one home all day - like, it was several talks to get him to realize that he had to incorporate food into her awake time, because I only see her in the morning and at night. Or, that he has to work with her on the signs that I am teaching her - I can't be the only one doing it. But, I have little to bitch about because he cooks, cleans and works at night in order for this to all happen. I just stress about her learning enough and that we're not teaching her enough.
My bitch is that I have too much shit to do at work this week. I am not sure I will fit it all in without working at night, which means I could only end up seeing my baby before work on Thursday and Friday.
My DH and I both have whatever stomach bug/flu is going around. Not fun. Couldn't keep anything down yesterday and today. Thankfully LO hasn't gotten it, but it's kicking our butts.
Also, why are men such wimps when sick?
ETA: also not looking forward to my supply tanking after being sick
I hardly get head colds, but I already had a couple this season. I did almost nothing with the baby those days - I just sat on the couch and whined and got snot everywhere. But, I was an awesome pregnant lady - so, he got lucky for nine months and can now deal when I have a head cold.

Oh really?? Where are you located?? And thank you I'll check that site out
katie1885, DH gets up with ME every morning. He makes my coffee, preps my lunch and I take off to work around 6:45am (read spoiled and lucky). LO wakes up shortly after I leave and DH takes care of him until 11-11:30 when he gets dropped off at daycare. I leave all the daycare stuff ready to go the night before. I take LO duty almost entirely from 4pm (when I pick him up) till bedtime and MOTN wake ups are mostly me. On weekends, we all get up together, at the same time, when LO wakes up. I think our workload is divided pretty well. There isn't much sleeping in for either of us.
What a hubby!!! You are so lucky! My husband gets up so early (5am) that I most always get up with her if she wakes up in the MOTN and morning.
That sounds wonderful that you all get up together on the weekend! I guess I just need to talk it out more with him now that our situation is different (formula feeding now). Thank you for sharing!
Will I ever get to sleep in! I get up with the baby every day which is all fine and good, but it would be nice for my husband to get up with her at least once a month! How does this work in y'all's households? Do you get up with baby all the time, take turns,?
I nurse so I'm always up in the morning with her. But Saturday and/or Sunday morning my husband will take care of LO after I nurse. He will play with her and feed her breakfast. It gets me a few extra hours of sleep which are glorious. Talk to your husband about taking turns on the weekend.

I applied for new coverage through Obama care in November since I wanted to switch insurance carriers. Since I don't plan on having any income this year (SAHM, worked for six months last year) we now possibly qualified for Medicaid. I don't want Medicaid...I admit, part of it is the social stigma, but also because we don't need it. We may not have a ton of income right now, but we can afford insurance. But if you qualify, you have to get it. Long story short, they needed me to send in proof of our income, which I missed the deadline because I misunderstood what they were asking for. I got an extension, and sent it in, in December.
For two months I've heard nothing, my case worker won't answer her phone or return voicemails, I got nowhere by going in person. Finally today I see online that they made a decision. We're denied due to failure to provide proof of income. I am happy to be denied, but dammit, I mailed it two months ago. I could not get ahold of anyone to verify they got it. So whatever...I just hope it doesn't come back to bite me later that I was denied because I "didn't comply". So I went ahead today and signed up for BCBS through Obama care, only to find out my MFM doesn't accept any Obama care plans, despite it saying she does under find a provider.
Ahhhh! Whatever, we're not planning on TTC again until LO turns 2, so hopefully by then MH will have a job we can get insurance through, because right now I really don't think I could go through another pregnancy with any other doctor.
