As a mom of 3 (almost 4 yr old and almost 2 yr old twins) I would say hold off! You're almost through the worst part and soon you'll be able to wear it down again. Since my twins hit 18 months I spend way less time carrying them and therefore wear it down more often. Since the twins were born I didn't chop it, but I did trim off all new growth and I regret it now. My hair would have been so much longer by now!
I mean if you really want it shorter go for it, but if it's simply about convenience I would wait. If you cut to APL it will take you years to grow it back to almost hip. And believe me you will care about your hair again soon.
I find french braids and simple buns easy when I'm really hands on with my kids. As they get older they are interested in my hair and like to gently touch it. "soft" they say
