i know how you feel about not jinxing it, but if i were you, i'd go ahead and begin the daycare search. the competition is BRUTAL. with DC1 we got on a few lists while we I was pregnant and our number has STILL not come up (he's 18 mos).

one tip i'd give to people beginning their search: I would REALLY pressure the enrollment/admissions person to give you as specific a number as possible on the number of people ahead of you on the waiting list before plunking down that $50 - $150 deposit.  yes, the number ahead of you is always changing, and they will say that they can't forecast how many spots will go to priority siblings, blah blah, but it's important to be able to gauge whether it's a good investment, or whehter you're just throwing your money away. We spent hundreds, and I'm now realizing that MANY of those places should NOT have accepted my deposit knowing full well that there were "several dozen" ahead of me in line. at this point, DC1 could age out of the center before our number even comes up. they make so much money off of deposits, so pls be careful!

we are lucky we are not super crazy right now about day cares since DC1 will likely pave the way for where DC2 will end up, but we DO have to start considering our options.

it's likely we'll do a nanny share again. i can so so highly recommend the experience for an infant as we are in one now with DC1, so we'll look there first. (if anyone has early interest in this, please let me know!)
