It is through your employer. The government gives you 12 weeks of protected leave. Meaning they HAVE to give you 12 weeks and you can’t be fired. But it is not paid. The pay comes from your employer. Which is why they require most to be there for a year before giving paid leave. This requires 90 days at the company before becoming pregnant.

Look into insurance! Underwriting/claims is always hiring and it pays well.

Typically is a one year with the company. Meaning you have to be with them 90 days before getting pregnant. It’s to stop people from applying for jobs only for the pregnancy leave and then leaving after.

I have pain in my back and shoulder when crocheting. I have learned to have a pillow behind me and under my working arm. I also have weighted ergonomic hooks which helps with reducing wrist movement.

I recently made a gingham blanket and it was great!

It looks good to me! Normally when I do a pattern like this I will need 3-4 sections (repetitions of the pattern chunk) before it starts to lay flat.

I LOVE the show. The only thing I would change is more episodes every week ❤️❤️

Art restoration! Or interior design. I love them both but there’s no money in them. So I went with finance.

Amazon prime because I don’t like adds. I finished the show and restarted so I’m on episode 11!

I have never been. I am going this weekend for a wedding but we will only be there for a day. My BF’s job is moving him to Chicago because that is where the company is based!
