I used to work in HR when I lived in NYC. Last position was Director of Staffing. I quit my job shortly after I got married becuase the hours were long and I traveled frequently and I was just getting burned out. Thought I would get pg quickly. When that didn't happen, I starting volunteering part-time with a nonprofit that assisted families with special needs kids. I loved it and thought about going into a career in social work (still do).
I found out I was pg two weeks before we moved to St Louis. I started a Masters in Social Work here and did a few semesters but then I started to feel like my son wasn't getting my full attention and he was my priority so I dropped out of the program. I would like to go back and finish at some point.
DH works for an employee benefits consulting firm, helping employers design and modify their health benefits program. I told him he needs to become an advocate for adding infertility coverage to medical plans!
