we were all prepared to suck it up and pay the $224/wk day care rate for the new baby. until last night when i found out the price is going up to $249/wk! when you add on $85/wk for E, that's over $1300 a month! that's more than our mortgage. really?!
reality check time. it's the last thing i wanted to do, but i think we're going to have to shop for a new day care for the baby. we love E's school and teachers so much, but we have to eat too.
i've already ran through the ridiculous mom guilt thoughts of "what if the next one isn't as smart as the first one all because i was too cheap" but i am already pushing that aside. he/she* will just have different school experiences. not better or worse, just different.
as luke says, we'll make it work. we always do.
*we find out if it's pink or blue a week from today! i'm almost scared to call the in-laws if it's blue, but i'm excited either way.
