  @MRads I was offered 4 weeks of leave before my due date, and 12-14 after baby arrives, depending on if I have a c-section or not. So total leave is around 4 months.

  And which sex would you want? And why? I am genuinely curious.

  I have no preference for number two, but if we have another boy and if we decide to try for three I would want a girl.

  I'd be afraid if we had 2 boys, then tried for a 3rd, we'd end up with a 3rd boy!  I second your sex selection FFC.

  I'm torn on what I would like baby #2 to be. I'd love to have a boy, so we could have one of each and experience both, but at the same time I want Adalyn to have a sister. So I guess either way I'll be happy, just for different reasons.

  I had planned on going into work the day I went into labor.  I had felt fine the day before so I planned on going in the next morning.  Obviously, plans changed, but my EDD was Jan 3rd and I went into labor on Dec 31st.  I'm glad I didn't take off any time beforehand because I wanted every possible second with B.  Plus, with my surgery, I ended up having to take off an extra month anyway

  @madeline10L, I totally understand! This week I have been getting constant texts from everyone asking if it's time yet. My dad has been texting me and calling me every hour asking if I'm okay. I tell him yes I'm fine and I'll call you if I decide its time and he said he wants to be the first one to meet her. I get it he's excited but it's already annoying. I told DH that in the delivery room I only want him no one else. Every one is okay with that but they are already planning on going to the hospital when I arrive there. I told my mom if I happen to make it to my inducement appointment that they do not have to arrive with me since the doctor said I'll probably begin pushing the next day and I don't think they liked that. I plan on just texting everyone when I'm going to start pushing and then by the time they arrive DH and I will have time with LO alone. But I'm already annoyed by this.

  
  Trust me... you need to let these people know that you appreciate their excitement, but that they don't need to text you constantly to see what's going on.  You'll be a lot less stressed out if you let them know.  We had to flat out tell DH's mother that she was NOT allowed to call and discuss anything baby related or else we'd hang up on her.  It was stressing me out and as we got closer and closer to my EDD, it was getting me discouraged.  The last straw was when she asked me if my vagina was puffy and I threw the phone across the room onto the couch next to DH and told him that I was done with it.  We told everyone that if they hadn't gotten a call from us, that everything was fine and it was not baby time.

  Ah, I had forgotten how crazy your MIL is. Good times.
  

  I didn't tell you guys the latest... she tried to start drama where there was no drama to be had.  We asked her if she wanted to come up to our house for Christmas this year.  She said "NO, because when we were at your house for Thanksgiving, MOA's mom hogged B the whole time and I didn't even get to hold him."  Cue WTF face from DH and he was like "No one got to hold him at Thanksgiving because he wasn't even BORN yet.".  The ILs and my parents haven't even been in the same house since B was born.  She's a fucking whackjob.

  @MOA Holy crap! What a drama queen! That's crazy that she imagined/made up that kind of drama. I'm scratching my head at that one for sure...Well I hope your Chrismas ends up going smoothly despite the crazy...
