My LO is just about 10 weeks old and I (unfortunately ) now need to decide exactly what day I will return to work. My FMLA doesn't expire until June 7th, but I am debating if I should go back a week early. My vacation resets on June 1st and for anything beyond that, they will start using vacation days again. (This didn't happen with my first LOA, which also took place over a new vacation year.)

So as much as I hate to end my leave early, it might be nice to save those vacation days (4 days out of my 20 for the year) to use later for some "me" days and trying to stay caught up on things at home. We don't have a lot of help nearby so time to myself doesn't happen much! Plus, it's very likely I will be needing some for job interviews in the next several months too.

But on the other hand, this will be my last baby so I'm trying to soak in all the time I have left home with her and hate to put her in daycare any sooner than I need to.

Kind of a silly thing to ask for advice on, but for some reason I am really struggling with this decision!!
