2. Au Pair Advice

sfmama911 - 3/24/2012 9:50 pm

 We are expecting twins in May/June and have a 4yo as
 well. Both my husband and I work full time out of the
 house and so were looking into au pair programs. 
 However we are worried about the 45 hour limit per week
 especially with commute time etc. Those of you with au
 pairs, do you have to have supplemental child care as
 well?

 I think it's really fabulous that you're doing this!! 
 My playgroup took the Touch Blue Sky classes and my
 25-month-old girl now uses 68 signs!! (Our boy was only
 interested in the important ones: milk, more, all
 done) It has saved us untold tantrums for them to be
 able to communicate with us. (Like being able to share
 "scared spider" when she was crying from remembering
 that she saw a big spider hours earlier.) You'll feel
 silly in the beginning signing to a baby that just
 stares back at you, but one day they'll sign back and
 then it will explode like you can't imagine! Stick
 with it and good luck!!

 I have Kaiser, and my OB had me stop at 30 weeks. I
 also have state benefits, and it was all a little
 confusing, with the sixteen weeks of job protection
 having to coincide with another form of leave, FMLA,
 6-8 weeks postpartum... Going out that early I think
 might mess me up on then postpartum paid time off, but
 I am on my feet at work for a lot of the day, and I
 start at 6am, and it was getting to be too much. Plus,
 I did IVF, and am 38 yrs old, so I had some risk
 factors to consider. Although I'm getting a little
 stir crazy at home (35 weeks now) since I'm far less
 mobile, I don't think I could've been at work much
 longer. I was already starting to have BH contractions
 and having to stop and sit down all the time, so it was
 best for the pregnancy to leave. Everything has been
 smooth sailing so far, so im happy to have been careful
 about it. If you can work from home that is great! 
 I'd plan on 30-32 wks if you have no other risk
 factors. Congrats and good luck!

 I would suggest a floor chair if you're going to be
 nursing on the floor -- it makes it a lot easier and
 is basically as comfortable as a couch. It also works
 just fine with the nursing

 pillow.http://www.amazon.com/BackJack-Back-Jack-Chair-Purple/dp/B000VA2W8MIf
 it were me, I'd get a second nursing pillow, too, and
 see if you can store it at the caregiver's or at least
 in you car. The less you have to remember to lug back
 and forth, the easier. There are always used ones for
 sale in the classifieds here, or you could surely get
 one at the sale next weekend.I didn't nurse at lunch (I
 pumped at work), but nursing at lunch is such a better
 option if you have the opportunity. I hope everything
 works out for you!!

 I just got the Implanon inserted in my arm yesterday.
 It is very similar to the Mirena - some hormones and
 may stop or lighten periods. I wanted the copper IUD
 but I wasn't a candidate because my uterus was too
 small. Implanon lasts for 3 years and is easy to remove
 earlier if needed. Previously I used Nuvaring and liked
 it, since you only had to think about it once a month.
 But I wanted something longer term this time! If you're
 still breast feeding, either IUD or Implanon are fine.
 Good luck with your decision.
