Thanks to each of you for sharing your stories, it's nice to get different perspectives. For inquiring minds, I have a wonerful boss who is allowing me to keep my position, but with part-time hours. So, while I work, my husband will be home with Aydin, and I can come home early to spend the rest of the day with him.

Thank you, again. This has been a struggle within myself and I sincerely appreciate you taking your time to help me figure this out.

I have just started back to work this week--four weeks after placement (the company that I work for did not offer any maternity leave). I can't get the thought out of my mind of how much I want to stay home with our new son. My husband supports me with this, but I am weary because I feel like I will have "failed" as an employee. Still, my priorities have changed now. Part of me feels like I can be a working mom, the other feels like I'm cheating my son, my husband (who works the midnight shift so I may work during the day) and myself by not being home.

I wonder if any of you can relate, or have advice.
