Thank goodness for FMLA...

I'm so thankful for the Family and Medical Leave Act! As Ethan and I were taking our walk this morning I realized that I have been home for 8 weeks as of yesterday, and I would be back at work today. I am only medically excused from work for 8 weeks for a C-section. FMLA lets me take up to 12 weeks off, unpaid, with benefits. I cannot imagine being back at work today. Ethan is still getting up every 2-3 hours during the night and I know that I wouldn't be very functional at work, plus I don't want to leave Ethan just yet (not that I will when June rolls around either)!

It's already been 8 weeks?!? I can't believe that!
