Career change
I have decided not to go back to work after maternity leave, and to look after Bethany full-time.
This is mainly because Alex's company wouldn't let him go part-time, so we couldn't go with our original plan of each looking after her half the time and working half the time.
I'm happy about it, though a bit sad that Bethany and Alex won't get that time together. I'm especially looking forward to being at home with her in a year or so, when she's talking and we can go to lots of toddler things together.
