My wife didn't actually quit her job when my son was born she was actually laid off about a month before. That actually worked out pretty well because she could collect unemployment and take care of our newborn. Well fast forward two years and she hasn't gone back to work. We had to make some life adjustments due to only one paycheck but I think all in all its turned out pretty well. I never have been big on daycare(don't feel like kids get enough attention, not to mention all the germs floating around). My wife did join a moms group off of the internet where other stay at home moms get together and let the kids play with each other so they can have interaction with people besides mom and dad.
