Anyone a working mom of twins...or going back to work after they are here?

My plan is to go back to work. I am looking into the nanny route right now. Just wondering what you all do....and if you do send your twins to daycare/nanny how much you pay.

I went back to work full time after 3 months of being home. We have someone come in to watch the boys from 8:30 - 12 until my DH comes home. We pay her 30 a day.

Right now I am home - but I do have a job I will be going back to in September.
I have no idea what I will be doing about daycare yet, I just know it'll probably be really expensive!

my husband wants us to look into the au pair option.

I will go back after 3-4 months. DH will watch them until the Spring and then we will look into daycare a few days and maybe my MIL will take them a few days.

I'll also be going back to work. I am hoping to find someone who will come into the home to watch them. I have also thought about doing the au pair route.

I am struggling with this decision right now. I would love to stay home and raise the babies myself, but I have amazing health insurance through my job, that I can't imagine sacrificing that to stay home. I may want to stay home a bit longer than I planned to when we thought we were having one baby. I am not sure what we will do about childcare right now...my mother said she'd help, but two babies are a lot to deal with..???

DW works P/T 3 days a week. The in-laws watch the kids twice a week, my mom one day a week.

You should get double maternity leave .... IMO... after all you have 2 children, so what if they come at the same time?
