I sympathize, daycare is rediculously expensive. Another option might be to consider one of you filling in the home care role. Depending on what you guys make, it may be cheaper and I'm a firm believer in at least one parent raising the kids at least until they reach school age.
Gonna second this option. As much as this seems "old fashioned" and whatnot, but if one of your incomes is less then 40% of the total of both of your incomes, then this represents less total cost to you as a family. And you get the significant benefit of raising your own children rather then a daycare doing it.
