Its never easy having a baby and a daycare. I know there are lots who do it but it is hard. I had my hubby take parental leave and help me out but it was hard. I lost my clients before the baby was born but I was also moving so that didn't help. (I'm not sure if they would have stayed or not if I wasn't moving) I took 2 months off even with hubby home and started up with my new clients after my little maternity leave. My new clients have been amazing in understanding that there are times when we cannot go outside because its just too cold for the baby. I think as long as you are open with your clientele about your situation and find the right people who understand it makes it easier. I sometimes feel guilty about not doing as many crafts and activities because of the baby but my clients are ok with it. So all is good! Congrats to everyone having a baby in 2013!
