Oh, maternity leave . . . My employer's health insurance does not cover birth control, they do not give any maternity leave, they dictate that if you deliver vaginally you must take off 8 weeks, and if by C-section you must take off 10 weeks, and they limit the amount of sick leave you are allowed to use for that 8/10 weeks to 6. (and! and! our vacation leave is use it or lose it, so it can't be saved up for these purposes)

Um, remember me? Well, this is what I've been doing instead of even skipping, let alone skimming:
(You guys are so much on my mind, and I hate it that I don't manage to find the time to stay properly in touch, to both share your lives as well as my own. Goodness, I even missed practically two whole months of birthdays, and more than 10,000 posts in Natter alone! But even when not in my font, you're always on my mind.)
(Oh, and sorry that the captions are all Hebrew - if I manage to find the time, I'll translate. Thankfully, the pictures don't need any translation. Oh, and the two-before-last is a video, not a single picture.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
That's a cutiehead.

Oh Nilly, that smile is wonderful! Adorable. What a nice way to wake up...

Sparky, I am amazed/disgusted/shocked each time I remember this about your employer. So so so regressive and anti-woman.
My outfit too? Not so progressive even with tons of women. If you take maternity leave so that you are not present for the first or last day of the school year, it messes with your years of service which screws up your ability to retire.
