Hot DAMN, Stephanie!! Congrats X 1 Billion!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I mean, I can't be the only woman who's tried SAHM/work from home and thought, you know, this isn't working. And you can't place the child before you have a job, because until you have the job you don't have money!
Susan, I did just that. Stayed home with second kid, went nuts, had to jobhunt and daycare-hunt simultaneously. The trick is that you have to hunt for childcare just the way you are supposed to hunt for jobs -- make sure everybody you know is aware that you're looking. That means that, for instance, you tell your minister, because s/he may know some mothers you don't, or know somebody at another church, or be willing to put a note on the board.
It's exhausting, but it can be done. I wound up stair-stepping up from not-so-great daycare to better daycare. Then I got incredibly lucky, and found this wonderful woman who took in both my daughter after school and my son as an infant. She was everything I dreamed of, and I only found her because her oldest kid went to the same school mine did.

Because books.
Whoo-hoo, Stephanie! Totally in awe, here. On the first try! With a newborn! You deserve a parade.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Congratulations, Stephanie!!! You are Wonder Woman -- breast-feeding a newborn with your DH in another country and you passed the bar first time! Yay!

What is even happening?
And so soon after her birth. I mean, really, really, really soon. I was still debating if I should take two naps, or three, that soon after my children were born.
Stephanie, had you even had your six week check-up when you took the Bar Exam?
