Illness! I went back to work and my daughter started daycare for the first time in January. Since then she has been sick literally every other week. And my husband and I have also been sick pretty much constantly since January. Being brand new at my job I feel weird taking time off so much but even doing less than 1/3 of the days my daughter has had to be out of daycare-- it is a lot. And that doesn't touch the day's I'M sick. And so I've been going to work semi-sick because if I stayed home every time I had a cold I would never work. But yesterday I got sent home from work for being sick because I was coughing in a meeting (so embarrassing). And like-- I totally get it and they are trying to be nice sending me home. But it is so stressful because I've been sick forever it feels like and I feel like I will be sick forever and I have to work sometime!

I haven't read all the responses, but the transition to a school schedule and kindergarten is really making me nervous.

@Anagram: I totally had many of the struggles you're having with DH and LO2,
they contributed a lot to making the full switch to FF at 6mo, because I simply couldn't take it anymore
things I'm trying to work on, planning, prepping when I have a chance, finding food solutions that are faster, and really trying to focus on my kids since I see them so little during the weektwo kids has exponentially increased my mom work guilt to the anxiety point

1. commitment to my job and FOCUS.
2. missing my husband. wanting more time together and especially more quality time - time not spent on our phones or watching tv.
3. fear of making it all work with a second kid!we were in a really good groove all around until recently, when various circumstances made work/family balance much harder on us. unfortunately, i also know that will take a hit when #2 comes, so i don't have strong hopes of getting back in that good groove anytime soon!
