are you keeping LO1 home for a while after LO2 is born?
My son isn't quite 2 and is also a daycare go-er. I'm contemplating sending him in part time for December and January, just to limit how much sh11t he brings in to this house,and of course so he doesnt' get too jilted that the new guy gets to stay home with me all day.
Re: Hey, Julie and Ben?
I am not altering my son's schedule at all. He goes Mon-Fri 9-3 and will continue to do so after little one arrives. Of course if he has days when he wants to stay home he's welcome to. I doubt he'll have many of those as he loves school and will likely get bored in the winter being home. My thoughts are you can limit his exposure by cutting him down to part time but you aren't really limiting his exposure to germs and bacteria. If he's out he may get sick. It's really just the way it is. You know?
My friend's husband is a complete germaphobe. Like completely freaks out if she uses a public pen kind of germaphobe. Germaphobe or not, their daughter ended up with H1N1 two weeks ago. She had a few rough days at home sick and then is fine. My girlfriend is due about a month after me. My point is no matter how much of a germaphobe or whatever precautions you take, you may get sick.
My 99yr old great aunt is in the hospital right now with possible Type A. They will treat as if she has H1N1 because the tests are backlogged two weeks.
I think altering my son's schedule as little as possible will help with our transition better than changing things too much. The less we mess with his world that is already about to be rocked the better.
I didn't realize you are having two under two. You have your work cut out for you lady:) I have many friends with two under two and they have all said after the first couple months it's so worth it. They are instant friends and playmates.
