[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you do intermittent FMLA?  So go back for 3 days a week or something like that.  Then you'll get some of your pay check but will still have siginifcant time home with your baby.[/quote]

Maybe it is pregnancy brain, but I don't know why this hadn't occured to me.  I will see I can do this. The other wrinkle is that our daycare spot doesn't open until the baby will be 12 weeks or so.

To answer PP re finances--we had been saving agressively, but had some unexpected expenses which ate up a good chunk.  I am contributng 12% to my TSP (it used to be 14%) and I increased my allotments (automatic transfer to savings account from paychecks).  We continue to contribute a lot to our savings but won't be able to do this once I am LWOP.

My husband will be on leave, but he still has to show up to work 1 day a week.  So, we have to figure out how to cover the gap when I go back to work and when the daycare spot opens up.  I am hoping that spacing LWOP/paid leave/part time will help.

Thanks! [/quote]
