[quote=Anonymous]I was the go getter on the fast track. Getting pregnant wasn't going to slow me down, no ma'am. I planned on working my usual long hours right until I went into labor. Instead, I ended up on several months of total bed rest and even after DC1 was born, I wasn't sure for a while that she was going to be ok. That put things in perspective for me. Now I have two kids and work part-time in a position that sounds fancy on paper but in reality is a complete mommy track. Yes, every once in a while I feel like screaming when someone I trained earns a promotion and I do have "it could have been me" moments, but then I remember a woman that I considered a mentor at one point telling me that I needed to get a day nanny and a night nanny, and see my babies smile, and remember that my priorities have changed. Life isn't perfect. Something has to give and at this stage in my life it has to be my career.[/quote]
