Mothers weigh in please!

OK, so I told my mother I did not enroll Addy Scott in Mother's Day Out next year. Her reaction was, "I really think you're going to need it..." Now, my mother doesn't offer free advice often, so I'm left wondering if I should listen. When I found out about this pregnancy there was no doubt in my mind I would; however, when it came around to registration, I chickened out thinking, "what if she brings home lots of cooties???" and "Isn't she too young?" etc... Then I went to Mary Ella's end of the year program last night and Barbara, the director, tried to convince me I should. THEN, enters my well-intentioned husband who thinks I should. Here is the nitty gritty. Addy Scott will be 19 months when this baby is born which means she will be busy bee, we will be putting this house on the market in January, and moving in June/July. Part of me thinks I will definitely need those two days/week to reorganize, rest, bond with baby, show the house, etc. BUT there is the other part is questioning it. SO moms, I NEED your constructive input as I've heard three children changes many things on top of the many transitions we will already be experiencing. Certainly, no offense will be taken either way (You know I'm not like that!). You can leave a message without registering.

I will also be posting some pictures of the program later. Also, just to prepare you, Scott and I have decided to put our sweet dog, Chelsea down tomorrow. This was a VERY difficult decision, but we feel like it needs to be done as her pain is increasingly evident. Therefore, it is likely going to be a rough couple of days for us, so please forgive us if phone messages go unreturned for a couple of days.
