Work or Baby or is Both Possible??

I am having a hard time lately trying to balance....more like decide if we want to extend our family or if I want a career. I hate that I have to decide, I really wish I could do both. I love my job and really do not want to work anywhere else besides being a full time mom of course! But unfortunately that is just not in my cards at this time. So there is the endless question of late.....do I want a baby or do I want to be a manager and move up in my company?

So far the work has won, but maybe won is not the word as I have not stopped thinking about baby so I guess work has postponed it so far. I know my workplace is supportive of flexible hours and finding the balance between work and home. The issue is that the flexible hours do not work if you are a manager, at least not as far as I have seen.

So my question to anyone who reads this (since my updates are so few and far between I am not sure if anyone reads it lol) but back to my question. To all of those out there with kids and jobs how do you find the balance and are you getting what you want to get out of your career or do you find that it is either one or the other? I am interested to see how others do it!
