Well, I am a proud mother of a four week old. I must admit the first couple of weeks were tough. It is very humbling to be entrusted with teaching a new human. That said, I feel my baby girl teaches me much more than I will ever teach her. I am extremely honored to be a member of the mommy set.

So this weekend, I say weekend because depending upon the ultrasound we had three different due dates, the baby is due. Mine has technically, not been a difficult pregnancy. There has been no "real" illness, but there have been lots of the "minor" inconveniences.

I am now shifting from the world of -ugh- late, 30-something, professionals to mommy. Due to a miraculous constellation of events, I have decided to 'opt out' or as author Pamela Stone of Opting Out? Why Women Really Quit Careers and Head Home prefers "silent strike".
