So I just got off the phone with my boss (updated)
and I was officially fired as of Sept. 11th. (which would have marked the 13th week of FMLA) I knew this was coming (I was out for 10wks during my pregnancy due to pre term ctxs) but it still bites!  Anyway she was nice enough to reassure me I have a job waiting for me when I'm ready to come back which will have to be sooner than I had planned since I will now have to fork over big $$$ for cobra 
Update: My DH lost his job today but we knew this was a strong possiblity because his company is going out of business. So now my DD has 2 bums as parents!  I have to laugh or I'll cry. Luckily we were planning on moving in with my mom next month anyway to save $$. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason so this was just in the cards for us and we will come out of this better than before.

Unfortunately yes. We are only allowed to take up to 12wks a year (under FMLA) Anything after that they don't have to hold your position anymore.

I don't think I can because I'm collecting disability now.
Anyway I have a great update: My DH lost his job today but we knew this was a strong possiblity because his company is going out of business. So now my DD has 2 bums as parents! I have to laugh or I'll cry. Luckily we were planning on moving in with my mom next month anyway to save $$.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but you have such a good attitude! Something good will come up for you. In the meantime you get to collect unemployment and spend every day with your little girl!

Re: So I just got off the phone with my boss (updated)
I'm so sorry this happened. DH and I went through something similar where we were both unemployed at the same time. I'll tell you it was tough, but like you said everything happens for a reason. In a sense it was good bc we were able to bond as a family and DH was able to focus on finishing his last year of law school.
Be strong and have faith things will work out.
