library mom: systematically cataloging all aspects of raising two babies at the same time

Nanny nanny knock up

Well well well . . . I just found out that my nanny is pregnant! This makes me happy because it means my ladies haven't scared her away from child-rearing. Plus she seems so ecstatic about being preggers it is somewhat contagious.

It also brings up another issue: finding alternative childcare. I'm wondering if Molly has any contacts on the nannywire. Using craigslist again does not overly excite me. She is due in November so I'm guessing that she'll work until maybe, maybe September? It is probably time to investigate daycare. Rumor has it that when your babies turn 1, rates drop. Sortof like car insurance once you turn 25.

It's too bad there aren't more discounts like this the older your children get; ie. tax rebates for milestones . . . like pooping in the toilet. I guess those savings will come when our house finally goes diaperless.
