Start spreading the news....well not just yet

Was talking to the boss as scary as I thought? Yes. Actually worse. I think because girl #1 told her first her first initial reaction was, "this is going to cost us even more money!" (in fact she actually said, "why did you both have to have babies in the same semester? Couldn't you have spread them out?" and then laughed and said "jk") but then her second reaction was excitement (and unsolicited advice including, that I should nurse (which I planned to anyway) and that I'll be really tired from not getting enough sleep through the night. What? No way!). So pretty much what I expected. She didn't tell me much in terms of what I was going to get - in fact, it seemed like it wasn't going to be much at all, but then she sent me to the business lady to talk about it. That reaction was much better. She was very excited for me and is going to try and do what she can to get the most time off for me. They have to give me 6 weeks of parental leave and then another 6 weeks of family leave - but whether they'll make me come back and teach half a course is questionnable (since technically I'll be off leave half-way through the spring semester) and not very likely (according to her). But I'll have to wait and see what she comes up with. At least it is over with now!
