Clarification...
I think I have been misrepresenting myself with this whole stay-at-home thing. It's not that I don't want to work at ALL. It's that I want something more flexible that doesn't require my being out of the house and away from JJ for 50 hours a week. I am actually pretty good at what I do and don't want to waste a bachelor's degree plus a year of grad school. I would really like to do something at home or telecommute. That's all. So I would rather be a WAHM (work at home mom) than a SAHM (stay at home mom). Just wanted to clear that up.

Lori,
Do not listen to these people. Daycare is a very personal decision that only you guys can decide. I had to leave Bella at daycare at 4 weeks old and it killed me. I just took Gabby to daycare for the first time this week and I was damn near having an anxiety attack. Everything was fine and they both had a good time but it didn't make it any less scary! The first day is the hardest then it will get easier. And just an FYI...working from home is not all it's cracked up to be :) The grass is always greener and you'll soon wish you getting out of the house more! <3 ya
Gina Gina Gina... "Do not listen to these people. " What in the world are you referencing? Lori's statement on work or daycare.
If you are talking about daycare, why should she or ANYONE listen to you??? You send your kids to daycare and then tell Lori not to listen to "these" people. You sent a 4 week baby and found a daycare to take a 4 week old baby. That's just CRAZY. 4 weeks old, oh my - you obviously did not listen to anyone, or look at body language because I'm sure most people are thinking right now that you are on crack. Take some unpaid time off and at least keep your little one for the standard 6 weeks.
Lori - do what is best for you a nd your family. If you end up taking JJ to daycare, everything will work out. Sure he might cry the 2nd, 3rd day but he'll end up loving it and the new friends he makes.
Well, Anonymous. I HAD to take my baby to daycare to be able to work to provide for her. Unpaid time off was not an option. Believe me that I wasn't just taking her to the sitter for fun. And if you read my comment...I told her do whatever is right for her and her family also. I was sharing my experience. Thanks for judging me, you're worthless opinion has been noted.
