Like I wrote on Twitter this weekend, I had a baby boy! My husband and I are both very happy and very, very, very exhausted. This is our second baby - my daughter is four. Iām on maternity leave until December. In the Normcore spirit (and since work-life balance in tech was requested as an issue of discussion), I want to be transparent about what having kids entails for women (or at least me), since itās something that half of the population of women in the United States goes through, but a stage I personally had no idea about until I went through it myself, since itās not frequently discussed in the popular press on work culture. (Unless youāre specifically looking for it.)
