Yay for team blue!!!! Congrats!

Blessed you can make it to tuesday I know you can. Great deals and easy shopping to :)

I have a sick little boy so got zero sleep last night, he's down for the night now but he's been stirring so I think it's going to be another rough night which sucks cause I work tomorrow. Going to try to pick up a maternity support belt tomorrow to anything to help with my aches and pains.
 
3xblessed, I don't feel bad for those Walmart workers at all. I had to work Thanksgiving too, and nobody feels bad for me :( I'd rather deal with the crazy customers at Walmart then clean old people's butts like I do :rofl:

Congrats on team blue missmummy!!

AFM, nothing going on. I don't think this baby is planning on coming out anytime soon. I haven't even had any random contractions lately or anything. Still just TONS of pressure when I'm up doing things.
 
I'm back from Thanksgiving in FL! Loved seeing family, took a TON of pictures, but I must say I never want to travel south for Thanksgiving again because multiple times we got stuck for 30-60 minutes in traffic because of accidents (mostly just one person accidents). It was very frustrating with a fusy toddler in a car sitting still.

Sam, when are you on maternity leave?
Click to expand...

When I go into labor. :rofl: Seriously, my dd is 12-12 and my last day of work is 12-14. I only get 6 weeks off so hopefully she doesn't make me wait any longer then that. If I have to be induced it won't be until 12-26 (unless I can convince my doctor to do it sooner) and I'd only have 4 weeks at home with her. :nope: Wish I could take off work now, it's a bit physically demanding on a largely pregnant woman to be running around lifting on old people all day.
 
Well I haven't been at my job for a year so I don't qualify for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) which would give me up to 12. So instead I get a "long term sick leave" which is only good for 6 weeks. Normally the bosses at my job only let us take 6-8 weeks off anyways.
 
They don't "do" mat leave really in the states unless it's provided by the employer. Sam I hope she comes sooner so you can have more time with her.
 
I will take whatever I have leave for.. so probably 2 months.. maybe 3 if I can do some working from home.
 
I'm a stay-at-home mom currently but I'll be taking college classes online as of January to complete my bachelor's. When this baby comes I'll probably take 5 weeks off of college courses in order to reenergize and get into a schedule I can manage. Unfortunately, if my DH gets injured or killed (eek!) in action during this upcoming deployment I will have to get a part-time job until my degree is finished and then find full-time work.
 
Hopefully I will be updating tomorrow with a baby pic--I go in this evening to start my induction---eekkkk!! Sam I feel for ya with the short leave. I'm only taking 8 weeks and today was my first day and I was almost in tears since I don't have a baby here yet--it goes by so fast when the deadline is sooo short.
 
yay good luck blakesmum

I feel very lucky to live in the UK sometimes.
 
I hope it goes well, Blakesmom!

Sam, I hope you little girl comes soon!

I'm taking 12 weeks (through FMLA), but my company doesn't pay for anything. I've been paying for short term disability since I started, so I can take sick leave for the first week, then short term disability for 5 weeks (or 7 if I end up needing a c-section) at 60% of my normal salary, then the next 6 weeks are completely unpaid. I'm glad that I get to take off the full 12 weeks, but we'll definitely be dipping into our savings a bit. At 10 weeks or so DH will be stopping working so he cane get into the swing of baby care before I go back to work (since DH is going to be staying home with the baby).
