This is our second child, our first will be 18 months old when patrick is born. My question is did you have your husband stay with you in the hospital or send him home because you'll need him when you get home. With our first he staid the whole time with me and baby. But he now works for himself and I think it might be better for him to go home and take care of our first and work so when I come home he can be with us then. Also I will be taking 12 weeks off but am nervous about being home alone with both babies. Our first goes to daycare usually but we won't be able to afford it with me being out of work. I had such a horrible recovery with my first. Debating on sending our first to daycare for a week or two till I get settled in. Any advice would be helpful. My mother passed away awhile ago and I feel like i'm missing out on key advice.
