How long do you plan on taking?  Hubby/SO taking one, too?

I am. I get 3 months if I want it but am only taking 6 weeks since that is how long my short term disability will pay for.

I will probably take 12 weeks off. I'm so looking forward to having my baby and 12 weeks to spend with her cuddling at home :)

I'm thinking I will probably do the same! I can get up to 8 weeks STIP for a vaginal birth or 10 weeks for a c-section.  I can then take FMLA an additional 4 weeks if I want .. I want to have plenty of time to spend with the kiddos and make sure they adjust to the baby .. and my oldest will also be starting kindergarten about that time, too!  so i'll mean the world to get to take him and pick him up his first little bit!

I'm a SAHM mom and my BF will take a week off.  I home school so I don't have to worry about getting up early.
