I'm working up until I go into labor and then I'm taking 12 weeks. I realize it's not vacation, but I am really looking forward to a break from the office!
My last day at work was Jan. 6 and I plan on going back Apr. 1. I'm taking 12 weeks even though I'm not eligible for FMLA.
Save your siggy changes multiple times.
I noticed your also a Oct '11 mama, so how's it going for you? We're finally getting into a routine, it was hard in the beginning.

My last day was a week ago. I will off until the second week if march but nay end up extending it a bit with light duty shifts for two weeks. Then my DH has a week off for spring break.
I took off at Christmas and I'm going back the beginning of March, I think it's 9 or 10 weeks. I wish I could take 12 but I don't have any more leave at work so that's the max I can take.

It's going. DD1 has been sick and not sleeping well, so between the 2 of them, we aren't sleeping a whole lot at my house. DD2 has some health issues that make her difficult to feed, so her feedings take a long time. We're adjusting. I actually managed to paint my nails today. Whoo-hoo!
I haven't left work yet but when Lo is born I will be out at least 8 weeks. Thinking about taking 2 weeks aftert that too but we'll see if that gets approved.
I am working up until LO decides to make her grand entrance which hopefully is soon!. And then I will get 8 weeks off. I haven't been at my agency for a full year yet so I don't get FMLA. I wish I could take longer but I'm grateful I at least get something.
I am still working and plan to up until delivery date. I don't get paid maternity so I am only taking 6 weeks.
My plan in the same - I am a few days past due and still working - and then am only taking 6 weeks (unless I need a c-section then I will take an extra week or two). My issue is I don't know if I get paid leave or not - I work for a small group and when I asked my boss just said "we'll take care of it". So counting on not getting paid, but hoping that means they will pay me.
I'm working up to delivery (due Tuesday) and will 11-12 weeks off FT, so I'll be back to work some time mid-late April. I'm also then working 4 days/week for another 8-9 weeks, so some time in June I'll have to go back to 5 days/week.

I'm headed back April 15th. It's after Spring Break at my school.
As for the siggy, I kept hitting save and finally it worked.
