SWEET!  That's a long leave, I hope you enjoy your time off before the baby. I can't believe you are almost 36 weeks. Time flew!

Have fun!!  I've been off since before Christmas, and I am quite enjoying the time off before the baby.  I'm not as anxious for this one to come as I was for DD to arrive (good thing, because I'm still waiting!)

Thanks:D ...According to my HR dept, here in CA, you can take up to 5 full months off and still have your job protected. So, that's how I made my decision. I think I'll have to pay benefits for 1 month since I didn't have enough PTO/long-term sick leave saved up to cover all 5 mos, but that's what my personal savings is for. DH spends his "allowance" on model trains and bicycle parts, and mine has always gone into a savings for a "rainy day";) Let the rain fall!!!! LOL!

Off to TJ Maxx to get some baby gifts for co-workers who are also due soon:) Already loving this leave...

You're telling me!? LOL! I just can't believe it. With DD, time ticked by slooooowly, and this time, I feel like we just annouced our bfp and here we are, washing newborn clothes and stressed over organizing. Yikes!
