[quote=Anonymous]I know exactly how you feel.  During my first pregnancy, I worked up until i went into labor and earned my promotion while on maternity leave.  This time around (newborn at home), I could tell people at work were muscling/jockeying for position in the office where I work (I report directly to our division director), but I did not have the energy or the time to get sucked into all of the drama.

Now, I am very much relieved to be at home on maternity leave, but I fully expect on my return (in about 3 months or so), that I will on a local road rather than on an on ramp w/r/t my career.  It's a bit sad b/c I definitely have some ways to go before retirement; however, I keep telling myself that I will have much more quality time w/ both of my kids.  Even with the first baby, I arranged my hours to spend as much time during the week day w/ her as possible.  But, when I think about where I will probably end up career wise I know that the younger 30 something ladies in my office who have yet to have any kids already view me as someone who has lost her 'edge.'[/quote]
