@springwillow Sitting is a 6th month milestone. Usually if a child isn’t meeting that 2 months after the milestone timeline, you’d want an evaluation for early intervention. A milestone means 90% of kids that age are showing that skill. So at 6 months if he’s not sitting, you could go ahead and...

@rubbles Okay this is going to sound so crazy but does he snore? Do you think he may have sleep apnea? I ask because my husband does and when he doesn’t wear his CPAP machine he makes all sorts of dumb little mistakes. He also can be super tired and like no matter how much he sleeps, he’s...

@myles0 Since we are teachers we don’t get vacation time. We can take 3 consecutive sick days in a row and on the 4th day you need a doctors note. But we like to save our sick days for when the toddler gets sick.

@holyspiritleads2truth I’m in Georgia

@bible07 Oh I see what you’re saying. I wonder if the new year does impact things. I’ll have to look into it.

@bible07 We can take the 3 at the same time. It’s just that combined we can only take 12 altogether. So if he takes 3 right after birth, and I take 9 right after birth that counts.

@mbl92212 No unions in the good ole south 😥

@toogietueday Would it change your opinion if my mom was available to help at least every other day if not daily until husband got home from work? It’s so hard for me because in my head I’m thinking “I don’t need much help” but that newborn time is such a blur and I’ve never experienced it...

@queenenny I will look into this! I think the combined 12 weeks is specific to my district. The 3 paid weeks is state wide.

@ericanicolee You need to talk to your doctor about postpartum anxiety. Your comment history is very concerning. Your baby seems very normal and your baby’s doctor has stated they are on track too. This is your anxiety.

@johnnyhouse Yes all of this is dependent on a non complicated delivery. We will pivot if that is not the case.

I’m pregnant with number 2 and trying to decide what to do in terms of maternity leave. What would you do? Husband and I are both teachers. Our state recently passed 3 weeks paid parental leave for all teachers including dads. I’m also entitled to 12 weeks of FMLA, 6 of which will be paid 2/3...
