thanks loqua, sunny and mel! nice to meet all of you ) Jay will arrive SO SOON!! Are you all ready?

One think I think about is how lucky I am to get up to a year off with maternity leave paid by the government at the Dole rate - sure it is a huge pay cut to what I earn, but it EXISTS so I am happy. How are all of you managing if you have work outside the home? How much time will you take off?
