So our gap is pretty large and so LO will be in daycare for likely 2 years before I become a SAHM again so kinda one less transition. Probably not thant helpful I know!

Right now my LO 1 is in daycare two days a week (I also work part time). But I'm struggling with how much time to take off from this program if hoped-for LO happens and I am doing my internship when hoped-for LO is an infant. I'm fortunate that I can make this decision I know! Mrs. Sketchbook on "Any SAHMs who went back to work between LO1 and LO2?

Did you struggle with your decision? How did LO1 handle the transition to school/daycare/nanny and also a sibling at the same time/in a short span of time? Do you feel like the subsequent LO got shorted? Did WOH help you to transition from 1 to 2 (2 to 3, etc.) or hinder you? Just curious!
