SAHM or Working Mom?
Did you (or will you) stop working and be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)? Why or why not?
Any regrets in your decision, like do you find yourself wanting to go back to work, or in the middle of a meeting do you wish you were home instead? What would you tell other mom-to-bes who are considering being a SAHM - do it or not?
Both Parent's working full time with Triplets!

After TTC for 5 years, my husband and I are the proud parents of triplets. We have two girls and one boy. I only ovulate every now and then and multiples do run in my mother's family. Although, no multiples had been born in a few generations.
Our children were very healthy and were born at 33 wks and 4 days. Thanks to God they didn't have any real trouble and were able to come home one at a time. I stayed at home with them for 5 months and actually thought I was going crazy. I love our children and we have the best time. My husband and I are very hands on, even with both our families living in our town, and we care for our children on our own. We rarely had people coming by to help us feed or let us sleep. We waited years for these children and we wanted to share this experience ourselves, not with others.
After 5 months, I decided to go back to work and our Mother's took turns keeping the babies. They turned one in December and this past January they started daycare. I feel more rested sitting at my desk and working than I do at home. Our children are having a wonderful time playing with other children and learning new things. For us the experience has been wonderful.
I will cut back to part time once they start school. I want to take them to school, do field trips, pick them up from school and help with homework, etc. But for now, this is what we're doing to make it day by day.
