Maternity leave - what am I missing?

You think I'd remember this from last time LOL...but I feel like I'm missing something in my prep for maternity leave.

So far I have:

Confirmed the rough days off (obviously depends on when I have the baby)

I will get STD paperwork next week before my next appointment

Have forms to add new baby to health insurance once he is here

Have started training replacements for most of my daily tasks

Dug out pump over the weekend and know which parts I need to replace

Have daycare already and paid deposit to hold #2's spot.

 

What else did you do before leave (other than last minute things like set out of office email, etc)?

I kept a running "to do" list on my desk, so I could cross things off as I finished them and add things as they came up.  That way if I had to leave unexpectedly or just didn't come in the next day, my project managers could easily see what I had done and what needed to be assigned to other people.  And I'm really glad I did it because DD came 9 days early!

Send an email out to your matrix partners letting them know how long you will be away and who will cover your work.

Get forms for additional time off if you are supplementing with vacation and other types of paid time off.
