Yay! We're going with an in-home provider near our house and I am already a big fan of my DCP, and relieved to have this decision made.
I wanted to have daycare locked down when I was about 20 weeks pregnant, but honestly I'm glad things worked out the way they did. After DS was born, I had a better sense of myself as a mom and where I felt comfortable with him staying. We did a LOCATE search when I was 6-7 months pregnant, did some screenings of centers and in-homes, and followed up after he was born. It took a lot of legwork but yay! It's done!

That is fantastic. And you're right, it's a LOT of work finding a place. I'm so happy it's all worked out for you!!!!!
