[quote=Anonymous]OP - BIG hug to you.  You've brought back some unpleasant memories that I thought I had sucessfully repressed. :)  However, although 3 months back after the 2nd is miserable, I agree with the pp that you should not make your decision based on how difficult things are at this point in time.  I remained in Big Law until mine were 6 and 4.  The most difficult time in terms of sleep-deprived (i.e., not knowing how you can do it) was definitely the year after my second was born.  The following years posed other challenges, but seemed doable somehow.  In retrospect, I am glad I stayed as long as I did.  When I decided to leave, although I moved to a job with a better work/life balance, I did not switch jobs because I was exhausted or felt I could not handle my current job, but because I was excited about the new job (in fact, I found a more prestigious job in my same practice area).  I am glad now that I did not just quit essentially based on exhaustion or without a real plan (as I was tempted to do at certain points).  Hang in there![/quote]
