During my pregnancy, I diligently checked off all of the boxes towards getting our home, life and relationship prepared for life with a newborn. I coordinated all that I needed to plan for my return to work after my 3-month maternity leave. I was set. But then, my baby was born. I knew within days that I needed to find a way to stay at home with her for much longer than three months. This aching desire had me obsessed with finding a work from home option.
