Willow. I'm freaking out also.. I originally asked for 7 months off and now regretting not taking the full 12 months... I still have til dec but know in my heart i wont be ready... I'm off to work in few weeks to ask for the extra time... Just hoping they agree if not i'm giving the job up....

I really hope things work out for you and as mentioned things will probably ease up once you get back into the swing of things... Good luck
