[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you all for the useful advice and congratulations!

We'll see how it goes, but I think I'm leaning towards what so many suggested - staying home full-time for the first year and then looking into setting up a small home daycare for when the babies are older.

I am going to be a single parent by choice, which is why I'm quite prepared financially, and my mother lives a 15 minute walk away and wants to be very involved, so I think I'm going to follow a PP's advice and see if I can get an early mornings/short afterschool job once I've figured out life with two babies while my mother and/or sitter watches the kids.

As for bringing the babies to work with me, my current afternoon family was very open to this idea. They have a 6yo, 4yo and a nearly 2yo with special needs, and I've been with them for nearly four years. Last year I had a late term loss, but the plan had been for me to bring the baby to work with me a few days per week - it would have been great and the parents (and me) were confident I'd still pay my charge enough attention. But that wasn't meant to be, and now I'm having two... which personally makes me not so confident that I'll be able to give my charge enough attention - especially now that she's about to start walking. But they're moving almost two hours away a few weeks before I'm due, so that's not really a question.

In any case, thank you all for such a helpful and supportive (might I say unusually so for DCUM) thread![/quote]
