I'll be honest... if I hadn't discovered this forum when I did (2 days ago, I think), I may go with what a lot of people have told me about how or what I should do, "transitioning" my baby so that I can do more work.

Instead, I feel renewed in my commitment to find a "win-win". I am NOT going to quit and just go with convention instead of what's authentic to me! (I wrote about that in another blog, but if I post it here I'll no longer be anonymous

I blogged how I feel about this forum and what I've seen so far in my pseudonymous mommy blog (start halfway down past the nap and donuts):

Thank you, everyone. You motivate me to keep doing the right thing for my baby and still do well in business/life.
