What I wish I knew as a first time mom: Don't worry about your career! I graduated from college with a degree in Accounting when I had my daughter. I worried so much about how I could use that degree while raising her. I was offered a full time job and burst out in tears at the thoughts of putting her in daycare. My husband said to me, "Don't worry about it, you don't have to take the job". We didn't have a lot in the beginning, but we made it work. Now, 26 years later, with 3 kids after that, I still am a Stay at Home Mom.
I wouldn't trade all those years for any job or money.
