I took a leave of absence to extend my leave - I go back to work on July 9.
Married 08.06 Started TTC 05.08 Me: Stage II endo, borderline high FSH DH: perfect 1 lap, 5 IUIs = 4 BFNs and 1 c/p 2 IVFs, 2 FETs = 1 BFN, 1 c/p, 1 ectopic and finally a sticky BFP in May 2011!
My job didn't have benefits so I just quit. I could have had unpaid maternity leave, but i stopped working at 8 months pregnant. I was teaching preschool and it got to difficult. They would hire me back if I wanted to go back, but right now I have the ability to stay at home. I went last week to visit the kids and show them dd, it was sweet and I miss them a lot!
I've been back since 2/25 (he was almost 7 weeks) I am currently trying to get a reduced schedule (from 77 hrs/2 weeks to 65) but it's not working too well since my next check will be for 105 hours! I am a pharmacist and I don't have a permanent partner yet (mine left almost a year ago! This is why I had to come back from leave before I wanted to); when I get one I'm pushing for the reduced schedule!
I'm supposed to be back at work right now... But my daughter does not feel the same way. She won't take a bottle, we have tried different bottles and such, the only thing we haven't tried is having me completely out of the house. On Friday I'm hoping for a date with my hubby and my sister will watch DD and that'll be a trial period for her. I'm going to re-fill out the application at work today or tomorrow. Yay.

went back to work the week ending 3/31. I thought I'd be sad, but I'm loving it. Only thing that makes me sad now is that there are some days I don't see my LO except when I wake him up to feed him.
I go back this Friday, and it's killing me. My husband will watch him 2 days a week and my mom will watch him the other three. I laid up in bed last night worrying that while my mom is taking him places they'd get in a car accident and I'd lose LO. I know I'm having irrational fears, but it's the honest truth. I'm terrified that something will happen to him while I am not with him, or just happen in general. Ugh.
