I think it is very important to start off saying that the choice of being a SAHM vs. a working mommy is something I consider to be very personal. Not every mother wants to or is able to stay home with their babies. Just the same, not every mother wants to or is able to work after their babies are born. One decision is not necessarily better than the other.
Each family and their needs are unique. The decision is personal.
No matter what your work status is - as long as you do your best by your child - you rock.

Life before Pip revolved around my not-so-9-to-5. My career was incredibly important and sacrifices were made to get to my position. With no college education (that would come later), I had to work exceptionally hard to prove myself and position myself for advancements. Before Pip, I was an AVP for a financial group. My expertise was in Information Security. I developed Disaster Recovery Plans/Scenarios. I wrote policy and ensured that my organization was working in compliance to meet regulations at a Federal level. At least on the surface, my job was pretty darn important.
Then came Pip.
