AW: 3 months without pay
My extended maternity leave request was granted! We are still hashing out the exact return date but I asked for 6 months and they agreed on 5. I get 8 weeks paid and the rest is vacation time/unpaid. I have never been so excited to not have an income!!!
Re: AW: 3 months without pay
That's amazing! Congrats that your company was so flexible and that you have the ability to afford it- good planning momma!
I wish I could take full credit for planning. We started paying daycare costs to our savings when we started trying, but if we had gotten pregnant when we started trying we would have only done regular leaves. Our infertility journey gave us time to save up for the extra time off - IVF did have a silver lining!
I initially read the subject line and I'm like who the heck celebrates not getting paid? lol
Congrats!
I had originally thought you were going to leave your job entirely, I take it that changed?
That is especially nice that both you and your H can take a big chunk of time off to spend with the LO.
I swear, I'm all for a 1 year maternity leave. Granted this is my own personal experience, but I probably wouldn't be coming home with #2 if I had the option to take a year off and go back to my job.

I think we will reevaluate once we have more than one kid. Depending on where we stop (anywhere from 2-4 kids) the daycare alone will start to make working less cost effective.
