Hi there! I became pregnant with my second, 2 weeks shy of my daughter's first birthday. My daycare had only been opened for 2 months when I found out. I was very fortunate to have an easy first pregnancy, which lead me to believe that I could handle working til the end while pregnant with #2.

At the time I had my oldest, plus 2 others that were all 1 (within a few weeks of eachother) and an older 4yr old boy. My plan was for my last day of work to be my actual due date of July 24. The 4yr old's contract was scheduled to end at the end of the school year in June, thus leaving me with three 18month olds. Yes, there are some days you are a little more tired, but I didn't find it to be that challenging.

As planned, I worked straight up to my due date, and took my 2 weeks vacation and hoped that the baby would come quickly, so I could have recover time before daycare started back up. Needless to say, baby had other plans and was 6 days late. My daughter was 10 days old when my daycare opened back up. My husband was off for 7 weeks, which were challenging to say the least. The day he went back to work, all the kids went back to napping properly and I was able to sort out our new routine.

Looking back, I would do it again in a heartbeat, but send hubby back to work earlier.

That is just me though and what worked for us.

Best of luck
