I am tempted to continue to keep DS in daycare for the six weeks I'll be off and keep him home with me and the baby to save money. But, I haven't even asked daycare if I can just pull him out for six weeks in the middle of the year. It would be really nice to save 600+ bucks for a month when in a month and a half when he goes back we'll be paying $1200 for both of them.

Yup, FT at first then 3 times a week.

I may ask about reducing her down to part time which could hold her spot but free up money for us.

Yep!
My older daughter stayed in full time (which was just 4 days/week) for 5 months, then we found out we were moving, and decided she would go down to 2.5 days to accommodate a new kid starting. It was awesome. Not going to lie. Good for her to get some attention without kid sis around, good for the babe and I to bond and good for my mental health with a kind of jealous big kid to balance with a new baby.

@T.H.O.U.: good idea. i need to ask what the policy is. i definitely can't lose the spot, but saving some money would be aweeeesome.
balancing a semi-toddler and newborn alone makes me nervous!

She won't.... but she's not in daycare yet. She'll be 2 1/2 when baby #2 is born and we're thinking she'll start preschool at 3. If she was already in daycare I think I'd want to keep her in at least part time just because she is very into routines and schedules.... I wouldn't want to mess with all of that.

I would - even as a SAHM, my son is doing mother's day out 2x a week and I plan to keep him doing that even if I SAH after #2.

DD will remain in daycare!
