The baby watch for my first grandbaby is officially on! My daughter had an appt this morning and she's started dilating 1-2 cm! She still has a month to go but between that & the contractions she may or may not go until 5/19!
I had to battle FMLA since she's a minor (she's 17...trust me I've heard all the comments & my initial reaction was not something to be proud of so I don't need to hear it all again). Anyway I went up to battle and I WON against the bureaucratic bastards! I'm legally allowed to the time off since she's a minor but they tried to deny it. Good thing I read up on it. Just as I was filing a formal complaint they responded with an approval. They have to cover me for EVERYTHING including 6 weeks off when she has the baby! HEH HEH. I can't afford to take 6 weeks off but I will take at least 3.
I have a follow up drs appt for myself this afternoon. I was taken off work Monday when I landed in the hospital with several blood clots in my leg - Talk about scared!! I hope they let me go back to work Monday but its hard to tell just yet since they aren't completely dissolved. I'm using this time off to deal with all the baby stuff & look for a different job. I have the job from hell but that's a book all by itself and probably partly to blame for this latest blood clot episode. I just need to get back to work & get caught up before the baby gets here.
Til next time!!
