I'm not taking leave until the day I pop (: Unless it gets too difficult since I have such an active job ! But I figure, walking helps induce labour and makes it easier so why not keep working ? But then I'm taking a full year off to be with the baby ! Idk, maybe that's just a Canadian thing lol

I was 39 weeks when I took my maternity leave with my first and with this one unless something happens I'm working until a few days before he's due.

With my first I took 12 weeks. I wasn't ready to go back. This time I can't really afford to. Take that many. I get 6 weeks of maternity leave plus I'm taking 2 of my vacation weeks to make it 8 weeks.
