My wife will be declared "disable" a few weeks before and many weeks after the delivery of the baby. I don't really agree with the term but it does have it's benefits.
The past few weeks, we learned about the whole state disability insurance (SDI-EDD). Friends and family gave us detail accounts of what they did, when they took time off, when they returned to work, how much they got paid and from whom. After talking to our HR department, Paulina might be entitled to a total of nine months off (partially paid the first 16 weeks, not paid remainder) . Praise the Lord, who answered our prayers when we were really concerned about childcare the first six months. The timing cannot be anymore perfect, the timing of the exam, the delivery date, Paulina's sister summer vacation from medical school to come back and help us. Truly Amazing!!! I will probably take a few weeks off too but the mortgage will get a bit heavy if I take too long of a leave.
