@coruscations: I'm glad you were able to figure out a solution that works for your family, and I hope things improve for you soon.
Good luck!

@coruscations: Did you get to take any maternity leave from school or have you tried to go straight through? You might want to talk to HR or your diversity/educational equity office at your school, they might be able to help you get off the academic probation status since your situation is a bit different than most students.

@Maysprout: Thanks for the tip. LO was born at the end of last semester so I had the winter break and didn't really take time off, but I did take incompletes in a couple of classes that I still need to take the finals for.

@coruscations: Just checking back in!
How did things turn out!

@mrbee: Thanks for asking! I haven't been on HB in awhile. I did quit grad school last summer and am a SAHM. The stress from everything had taken a serious toll on my marriage, and I really think I would be on the road to divorce now if I hadn't quit when I did. It was absolutely the right thing for our family, and in fact I regret not quitting right after LO was born.
Postpartum hormones are really amazing. When I look back now at everything I did in LO's first months and how little I slept, I am amazed that I didn't implode.
I'm planning to be a SAHM until our kids are in school. When I return to work, it won't be to the same field I was pursuing in grad school.

Good luck!
