When people found out that my daughters would be five years apart, they were puzzled as to why we waited so long and asked if I had trouble conceiving, which I politely said no to.
Why did we wait 5 years? Mostly it was because of childcare. Only until then we realized the true cost of childcare and not having the luxury of either of our parents available to watch Miss 5.
When I had my first child and returned to work from maternity leave, my husband's work schedule was very flexible while in the midst of establishing his own business and was able to take Miss 5 to his meetings. Thankfully his clients were graciously accepting of this and were impressed how well Misses 5 behaved at her age. Miss 5 eventually turned 6 months old and we knew it was time for her to go attend daycare as she became more vocal and wanted to play and crawl instead of sit through meetings with Daddy.
We were very fortunate to find a great daycare person at that time who is state licensed and a close distance away from home. An open spot actually became available and now youngest daughter will be under her care.
Update: This blog was actually written over year ago and I never posted it. Not exactly sure why but her it is now. :) Furthermore, I'm currently a Stay at Home but more on that later. ;)
