I was due 3/30, had him (and started my leave) on 4/5 and took 12 weeks.  Yesterday was my first day back, blargh.

    DS was born 4/6 and I went back last week on Monday already.  So soon.  Wish I could have taken a longer leave but I used up 5 weeks of vacation time just to have a little longer at home with him.  But, I do work from home and my mom is here taking care of him at my house, so it has been a pretty easy transition so far. It will really suck in August when I have to start him in daycare

    I go back a week from tomorrow :( I'm really stressing over it. DD already started daycare and isn't sleeping there. I hate that I will only see her twice a day and she will be screaming and overtired for one of those times. I'm going to have to talk to daycare about doing better with naps.

    Today is my 3rd day back.  I'm super lucky that DH is a teacher so DD won't start daycare until August.

    I only took 6 weeks..since they use  a week of PTO for the start of your Sal con and any PTO you have acrued alongside your FMLA time I decided to wait till January to take my FMLA bonding time.  That way I have my PTO this year and I can get unpaid time next year and it wont use more than a few hours of PTO, because all they can use is what I have acrued, not what I will earn throughout next year.

    My mom is flying over from Scotland in December to see LO & hubby for the first time.. and I havent seen her in like 24 years.  So I will be using the last of my PTO for 2012 then and FMLA for the end of her visit.

    DD was born 3/15, last day of school was 9 weeks later so I stayed out and will go back to teaching mid August.  So not looking forward to it.

    I'm a teacher.  I delivered on 3/29, and I got 8 weeks plus 2 personal days I hadn't used.  I went back for the last 3 working days of the school year (surreal, but I'm glad I did).  I don't really feel like I went 'back' to work since I'm now off with the rest of my colleagues.  We start back up on August 20th... I'm not looking forward to it, though I know I'll be fine once I get into my rhythm.

    Livi was born 3/29 and I went back to work on 6/18.  The first couple of days really sucked but we don't have any alternatives. 

    It'll get easier, I promise!

    Andrew was born on 2/24 and I took the rest of the school year off.  The last couple of weeks were unpaid but given that he arrived a few weeks early my school wound up divvying my classes up to several teachers, so going back for the last couple of weeks would have been a mess.  I'm in complete denial about going back in August.. even though I'm only going back part time and he will be 5 1/2 months old by then.. I'm trying not to think about it.

    Baby boy was born 3/18 and I started leave the week before that. I started back at work PT this week. It was pretty surreal and I missed my boy like crazy. He is at an in-home daycare 2 days per week and home with DH 1 day. I really like working and DS likes people and kids so I think it will be good for both of us once we get used to it.

    I had my LO on 03.28 and after 12 weeks have gone back to work on 06.20.  The first day was rough - really rough.  She is in good hands at a small home-based day care, and it is nice to talk with grown ups and have more of a structure to my day.  I have even been able to check back on on thebump.com, so that has been nice!  I am also excited about a paycheck - funds were getting depleted on while I was on leave.  She seems happy - and we really enjoy our after work time!! :-) Wish you all the best!
