Stephanie, congrats! Feel so excited to read your birth story. Aft that, I quickly start to pack my bag liao, hee..
Re childcare leave, ya, I believe you can take anytime. For me, I prefer to use it first than AL cos childcare leave cannot be brought forward to next year...
I'll be clearing my AL on boss's orders so will be on AL from 25 Feb onwards liao, although my EDD is only 17 Mar 09..No choice, better listen to boss's orders since I just confirmed only..
