ill start a DIY thread. :ugh:

Being pregnant, but unable to take maternity leave yet, is making me irritable. :o

yah, i watched my wife go through it twice.

first time was pretty tough, 2nd time appeared easy as she was working from home until like the very last minute before my younger kid started kicking repetitively at midnight. :ugh:

why midnight for both kids... they think its funny or something.

bought times i had zero sleep throughout the night party with excitement and partly with more excitement. :icon17:

You're roughly 9 weeks out, right? When can leave start?

For reference, here's the huge kiddo I have to carry around.

I'm only 4' 10"

About 5-6 weeks now. I'm only getting paid for two weeks off so I'm trying to work until he's on his way. Yay America.

Is that even legal?!?!?1

almost there! :tup:

but only 2weeks is tough. :( first 2-3months is hard.

i stopped watching tv when my first kid was born... no time. then 2nd kid came.


all the reruns are fresh to me. :rofl2:

In America, yes. Businesses aren't required to provide paid maternity leave benefits but an employee can take time unpaid time off under the Family Medical Leave Act. My company only offers 12 PTO days per year and that is what I have to use.

That's messed up. You need more time off and paid maternity leave

:iagree:

I agree. Unfortunately debating about abortion in this country is more popular right now. :thumbsdown:
