We can't afford the nanny option now. It is hard, I haven't found a peaceful balance with it yet, but I'm working on it. Thanks for your comment. We can’t afford the nanny option now.

I bawled like a baby when my daughter went from the baby room to the toddler room at her daycare. It was scary and awful and I almost pulled her out and rehired my nanny that she had until she was 8-months-old. So, I have to ask...have you looked into the nanny option. I know, they're crazy expensive, but sometimes you can find one who takes more than one child. I used Nannies from the Heart and the nanny they found me was amazing. We are still friends. Barring that, I'm sure you and Baby Girl will adjust to the new daycare in time and she'll find a new friend to cuddle with during nap time and will eventually smile when you drop her off. One day you will pick her up and she won't want to leave. And that'll be a good thing. The transitions like this are SO HARD.

Right now, my sisterwife is working part time, but we still have someone home to watch the children, cook meals, clean. And when she quits this job (soon, we hope), there will be two mothers at home again, splitting all that work. Thann again, we do share a husband, and not many American women can stomache that.
