 Topic: Major change of plans :-(
Posted: 15 February 2008 at 8:34pm |
We have stopped TTC #2! 
My Mum has been looking after Caitlin whilst I work and announced 2 days ago that she wanted to get a job and had an interview all lined up the next day!  
This is just a few weeks after we had asked her if she was ok to look after #2, which she was very happy to do! We had always agreed she would look after Caitlin until she went to pre-school at 2.
So yesterday I spent the day phoning every single day care in West Auckland trying to find a place for Caitlin. Then spent 4 hours driving around the few which did have spaces to go check them out.
Luckily, we found a fantastic one that is 2 mins away from DH's work and had a trial day today and have enrolled her to start next week.
This evening my mother calls to tell me she's had a change of heart! *inserts lots of swear words* We've already paid a months worth of fees and Caitlin was so happy at the centre and will get so much out of being there that we have decided to keep her there.
The day care costs $220 a week which means that I'm going back to work full time to pay for it and our plan on having another baby has been put off for at least another year
Obviously, I'm absolutely heart broken as I was really looking forward to having another baby. But we need to do what is best for the baby we have, that is what is more important.
Good luck to all those on your TTC journey and hopefully I'll be back in here this time next year or the year after *sigh*

I've been having acupuncture of the pain, had 2 sessions now and I've had the lightest AF I have ever had with no pain at all! Fingers crossed it lasts or we can manage the pains without having the op 
Deb - Day care costs us ALL of our budgetted savings which was what we were putting away for #2 for when I stop work. So no - can't risk getting pregnant now without a whopping big pay rise! 
I'm trying hard not to think about it and dwell on it. Every time I do I well up

Big hugs hon, this really sucks.
I'm sure Caitlin will love daycare though (I know Gina does) and hope that will make you feel a little better

is there anything wrong with swallowing your pride (so to speak) and letting your mum have your kids? or do you think she may let you down again? if your pregnancy went well you could work right through and keep saving money?
have you looked into home based care? its half the price of a day care centre.
