    I am a GM for a large major retailer. My bosses are going to kill me when I tell them. I will be with the company 4 yrs in June and I will be on maternity leave through this holiday season just like I was in 2014 :)
    I was working retail when I was pregnant with my first and ended up being put on bedrest the week before Christmas because of PTL. I wasn't in an important position, but my SM was none too thrilled when I called him from the hospital to tell him I would be gone through the middle of May (I was due in March). I missed Christmas, valentine's, Easter and mothers day, all busy holidays for us since it was a drug store and card and candy sales would skyrocket. He actually put it in that I had quit, so I didn't get credit for being employed there for those 5 months, which screwed me on my mat leave when I got pregnant again 2 years later.
  • @reneeannemm I am a foodie and I love to cook. That sounds like such a cool job. 

    @RileyM2010 I can relate, I'm fairly new in my job and am in sales. I will be on maternity leave for our EOY, I'm not looking forward to telling them.

  • I'm a jack of all trades, but mostly an administrator at law firm, and my boss will too, have a moment when I tell him! Poor guy. BUT, that won't be for a while anyway. 

    You ladies are so inspirational!

  • Love reading about what everybody does!

    I am a Wellness Program Coordinator and coordinate our clients employer sponsored wellness programs. We also put on a lot of one time events for other companies such as health fairs, flu shots, and other wellness related activities! I am also a personal trainer, and used to teach group exercise. Haven't done that specifically in about a year though. I do miss it, but my full time job keeps me busy.

  • I'm a teacher. I teach grades 7, 8, and 9 French Immersion Math. 
  • I am a full time dog groomer and for the last 8 years I have also had a small retail business that has been online, brick and motor and traveling boutique still trying to decide which I like the most. I HOPE that after the baby comes I'll be able to just do my thing full time but for now grooming pups is fun and challenging and consistently pays the bills!
  • I do communications/PR!

  • Shout out to my fellow attorneys @beezeemarie and @laeberge3! I do trademark law at a midsize firm. Hoping to go part time eventually, the promise of that was what drew me away from biglaw in NY to this smaller firm out west  :)
  • I work in a sawmill. I'm a production tech so I run a lot of the equipment and fix bundles and also grade the wood that is coming down the lines. I love it and the people I work with and it pays well with benefits. There is also a lot to learn there! 
  • I'm a Purchasing Supervisor.  Basically I get to shop all day, if only it were for something fun.

    On the side, I also have a blog which is a year old.  I would love to be able to make this a full time gig or if DH gets promoted a substantial part time gig.
  • Fourth grade teacher! I love it some days and hate it some days, but it's something I pour all my heart and time into.
  • I'm a health care attorney.
