Hawaii Babies

woohoo - Jack got a spot at daycare

after a being on the wait list since October (20 weeks pregnant) we just got the call that he can begin in July.

So glad that I randomly called to get the baby on the wait list even though we had thought he would be able to come to daycare at my work.  Everything happens for a reason and we are so happy he will be going to our first choice center anyways.

  • What a relief!  Crazy how long the waits can be!

  • Awesome, congrats!  We got our name on our list at 11 weeks pregnant, and we're still waiting.  We've got time yet, though!

    yes... the work one didn't pan out - they flaked so I think my instincts were right in the first place and I'm glad we were still in a position to make other arrangements. I didn't want to rock the boat where I work (even though many people wanted me to) because I think politics were at play and it just wasn't that important to me. 

    Like I said, everything happens for a reason and them flaking was a blessing because if they had accepted him and I took the spot only later to have something bad come up I would be pretty upset that we had given up a spot at our first choice place.

    Good luck on your search, I think (hope) it's less difficult in Seattle?  

  • Woohoo that's awesome news! And I'm a bit jealous...I went on the waiting list at our top choice literally the week after we found out I was pregnant, and we just checked in with them earlier this week - they basically told us we had no chance and should plan on going elsewhere. Sad I knew the odds were REALLY low since we need two spots, but I guess I was still holding out hope that we could get in anyway...
