I was a lawyer for hundreds of years- still am in fact and my daughters are in their own  20's ( one lawyer) and thinking the exact things you are talking about. It's so hard when so much of your identity is tied up with being " a lawyer" and " a mama" , indeed only one of my classmates is also still working as a lawyer because this is hard slog. You are doing a great job , and your thoughtfulness is your biggest asset. Please leave time for you in all of this , I'm so glad your partner is hands on which is something so few of we oldies had. Your time to wear the shoes and the pencil skirts will return ( typing this wearing full black battledress) , and believe me that every litttle thing you think you are doing wrong as a mum will not even be remembered by your baby, so long as they have happy and safe parents. 

I see so many young lawyers suffering with balancing life and expectations ( and don't even get me started on people looking for free advice) - remember you went into this career to help people, and that includes your family. Always happy to talk if you need an ear.

I'm looking for a MOB dress, also impossible. I'm told I'm not allowed to look like a Senior Bridesmaid but the maids are wearing my only good colour ( apart from white and cream which are out because I don't want to be a Senior Bride). 

The dreaded cut outs and milkmaid flounces  are also annoying me, and if I mention MOB anywhere they bring out shiny satin with lace overlay normally in cobalt or fuschia. 
Google or insta MOB likewise.
I wondered why the MOB wore Camilla at every wedding I go to and now I know why. I'm still looking because I have plenty of time but if anyone has an idea for a tall MOB afternoon wedding PLS let me know .
In the meantime I'm open to start a business dressing fellow unfortunates, if only I could find some stock
