Over the past couple weeks or so, I have started looking into day care centers. This has been the thing I have dreaded the most about having a baby-besides giving birth. I can't stand the thought of putting our tiny baby in a center for 8 or 9 hours everyday with someone we basically don't know. But the reality is, we have to pay for a house and all our other bills, so I have to go back to work. I get to take 12 weeks off, so she will be a little bigger by the time this all starts.
We are trying to find a place that is close to our house so that Jessyel can drop her off in the morning since he starts work later than me and I can pick her up since I get done earlier in the afternoon. I feel this is slightly limiting our options, but we have found a couple that we could live with.
The first two, I went to by myself. I cried on the way there and on the way home from both places. In between the two visits, I had to pick out paint colors for the nursery which almost resulted in a total breakdown inside Babies R Us. But I made it through.
It's very easy to know where we don't want her to go. The hard part is picking a place that we like and feel comfortable with but at the same time doesn't cost a fortune. One place I went to was very nice, however the monthly cost is almost as much as our mortgage.
I guess at this point, we sort of have one picked out. We just have to bite the bullet and chose one. I already dread the day when this actually has to start.
