I am in Benefits, I would definately do the co-ordination of benefits, you will get most things paid for. You each have to submit to your own individual plans first but for the kids you submit who's every birthday month is first in the year. SO if you were born in Jan and Dh was born in May, you would submit any claims first to your plan then they will give you an explanation what was paid(like an invoice) and you provide that to your DH plan. Then they pay the difference... Normally. .
Make sure since you guys are paying for the benefits that the price you pay you will be beneficial in the long run. You would submit claims that would justify the amount..
Dental is a big one...

Okay, that is not the employment law, I will tell you that right now.
I am in HR and in Payroll/Benefits. They are entitles to the Stat holidays, but the company can designate the alternate days, as far as I know the majority of companies use the following days.. But this year we are using Dec 27, 28 and 31st as our Stats and we are expected to return to work on January 3rd.
As for the falling into another year, depending on when your pay period is, you will find that alot of the stats go into the next year.. For example 2010 payroll closes on December 18th this year.. So all stats fall into the 2011 pay year.
You can do as you wish but if you have a real issue you can always call the CPA(Canadian Payroll Association) - they can clarify 1-800-387-4693
I can email them, if you supply me with all the details of your issue.. As in Pay Dates and stuff, if you want something in writing..
Feel free to use me for this.

I was the same as above not scheduled but had to have one after over 2 days..
I wish I had pack accordingly..
A few pairs of pants that can be worn, I stayed in the hospital gown a lot though.. But if I had pants that woul dhave fit properly I wouldn't have.. Bring proper underwear that will not affect the incision line... I also brough pads, which you would probably had for vaginal birth anyways.. I bled a lot while in the hospital. Stuff to do, I was there for a week.. 3 days recovery and 2 days pre-birth... Sucked...
Outfits for the baby and not just one, you never know what size they will fit, our NB didn't fit in NB clothes, good thing we brought both..
A Warm blanket , as you are in December, I had a section on December 29th.. Just a note, when you go to leave, have your DH go out earlier to start the car, I was so happy to get in a warm vechile, and you worry less about the little one...
Have Fun

Hi There,
With the very recent passing of my BIL's father.. he had a stroke.. Which still kills me as we was at the gym all the time and ate from what I know very healthy.. Anyways he had the stroke on Wednesday and by Saturday he was gone....
DH and I have been discussing that we should probably get a will made up as we have a minor child and I dont want this to get complicated if something happens.
I am wondering the cost associated with this, i did a quick search and it brought up a thread with Calgary prices. .
I have a few emails/calls out to lawyers but I am wondering what we should expect.. No one has responded as of yet..
Any help would be great.. Just wondering what to expect.
Thanks for any help..

I'm in HR, and just knowing the little background you have given, I wouldn't think this is grounds for dismissal. I think you might be given a warning and after that depending on your company's policy then it could lead to dismissal. It is really hard to fire someone without just cause and this would not be just cause until it is brought to your attention. Once it is brought to your attention then it's up to you to rectify the situation.
This is what I would say would happen in most situation, unless you have a strict policy that says you can be dismissed for these types of actions..

Well, I never did any method. As in Check in/outs, pick up put down. She slowly learned to put her self to sleep, I started earlier though, which I know can be a no - no here. I started from the beginning. Once she was put in the crib, she would cry herself to sleep. If she ever got into a really hard cry, I would go in, and let her see me through the rails of the crib. but she still needs to CIO at 9 months, EVERY time she is in the crib, unless she is Really tired.. She will cry and moan for a max of 7 minutes then be out.
Stay stong it can happen..
Good Luck..

Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good Duct cleaning company. We have never had them done and I am sure there are lots of crap from the house being built, and I feel this could be part of the reason I find it hard to keep the close clean. It seems I can clean one day and the next day it's got little particles.. Meanwhile I haven't even went outside to drag anything in..
If you have had it done do you know the appoximate cost?
Thanks.. I have a few calls out but if I can get a recommended on it would be better..

My Lord look at those kidlets....
Carolin.. I am glad everything has turned out well for you, I have wondered how things are going, I can not believe you are back to work, would love to meet up sometime, the time seemed to go way to quickly.. I heard you ran into Meghan and Shaun somewhere a few months ago. . We should definately get the kids together...
Dreas.. God I can never get enought pictures of Reid.. Just so everyone knows, and no one tries to take him away, Reid is Aidryauna's boyfriend.. SHe loves him and well he loves her, he even leaves love marks on her face..lol...
as for everyone else, i love to see how these little people have grown so much.. Jack is so cute, Hunter.. ah the trouble making has began.. I love that picture.. and Kristen what a nice looking family you have..
I guess I am one of the Lucky ones, I dont have to go back to work until the new year, Aidryauna was born at the end and I worked right up until close to Christmas. I feel confident in my daycare provider and am looking forward to her going there, I think she will learn so much. She isn't quite crawling yet and honestly not sure if she will, I have caught her a few times bum scouting around the house.. She really seems to prefer to roll though. This kid will eat ANYTHING we give her now..big fan of toast with cream cheese..She weighs just over 24 pounds... What a girl...
Here is the most recent photo of her..

Our house is over 2 years old. It was built in 2008. Thanks for all the comments, although I dont believe we will see all the money back I think we will see some of it. We have friends that are in contruction so it's mostly just supplies we need to pay for, we also know an electrician as well.. So they are gonna do the wiring and connect it to the panel.

Thanks A.. Well, We think Dh will have a store by next spring or summer, so I want to get on the making the house look good.. I have talked to a few Real Estate Agents and they all seem to agree that a finished basement would be a good idea. Not sure if the money will be seen back, but it might sell ahead of another 4 brd house with a finished basement. So I think this winter we might venture into doing that.. really it's just floor and celing, the walls are already ready for drywall, it came like that from the builder.. We will see....

Thanks Ladies, we are in a very sought out neighbourhood and our division is all sold. So to get in this neighbourhood you have to buy a already "lived in" home. The houses that have been up are going in less than a month... That is right now.. and I wish we could put it on the market now.. I planned on sectioning off the funance in it's own room. The basement is already insulated and ready for Drywall. It's not a huge project, and not that costly really.. Just wondering if it's worth our time to really do.
I think we will do the empty rec room look. Just gives the house a little extra space. It's a 4 bedroom house so there is a lot of room, but it would be nice to have another living area..
Thanks Again..

Hi There,
We plan on selling our house the end of next year or early 2011. We haven't finished our basement yet.. It's a new build. If you were to buy a house would you look for the basement to be finished. Would we see the money back if we finished the basement. What else can we do to spruce up the house, I plan on repainting most of the room. Just to keep the house fresh..
Just looking at things to do to help kept the value of our house up. And help would be great.

Andrea,
YOu are the best mom ever... Dont let people make you feel any different... You know how is was with me for Breastfeeding and the comments I got, I agree with a PP, just switch the topic, I had to do that yesterday with a random lady asking if I breastfed. I think Reid is a very happy little boy and not to mention so friggin cute... He will sleep when he is ready, I think he is just so excited to experience life that he's affraid of missing something so he wants to stay up longer..
Whatever the reason, there is something in his brain telling him, he's not ready to self-soothe.. It will come with time... I was told this yesterday by my mom, dont rush them growing out of the baby stage... I took that to heart, I dont want A to be a big girl just yet... So yes, she is still my baby, just like Reid is still your baby..
Just think of all the time you get to be with him cuddling...
See you Soon..

When we first moved into our new house, I had never dealt with Gas, so I had no clue what bills should be well, we ended up with a Credit of over $1500, that was in 2008, the first bill we have had to pay is this one, and it's just over 300.00, so not big at all
But we also opted out of the budget billing, for gas and hydro, I find, it's a lot easier than budget billing...

I just traded in my 2007 Kia Sportage, I liked it for about a 6 months then, every time I took it in it seemed to cost me so much money. I will never buy Kia again as with Hyundai, they are sister companies.. They seem to have similar issues, a friend of mine is a hyundai mechanic at a dealership.
Jeep on the otherhand I dont know much about but was considering it for my new vehicle..
Dont just test drive these vehicles once, take a good month or 2 and try them all for example go to Jeep try it then head to Kia, then head to Hyundai.. You get a good comparison, or sometimes you get lucky and there will be 2 on the same lot..
Good luck.. Just be careful, there is some junk out there..LOL

Hey, we have also transition A to another car seat.. she has almost outgrown by height her bucket,
I was looking at the true fit in the zellers flyer and it says RF until 22 pounds.. A is almost there, did you turn them FF once they hit that weight? Or should I look into a higher weight for RF like the Graco 65?
She has great head control and everything and I think she could face forward.
Tell me what you think.. I am not sure what to do, I know it's recommended for them to be RF, but it might be hard as A is a little chunky..

Oh I feel for you.. The first few months I was formula feeding, I was pretty much embarassed to fed in public.. But I see more and more parents formula feeding.. It was such a tramatic event for me, I refuse to try it again, on my next child they will be formula fed from the moment they come out.. NO ONE will give me any grief, I will make sure of it on the second one.. Since my little girl is a thriving 6 month old..
But I had no issues with my Public Health Nurse or my doctor is what other women and MEN.... Who asked why I wasn't BF, my public health nurse was awesome, she asked if I needed any help picking out the proper bottles and nipples. She brought a bunch of samples.. It was great..

Hey, we were camping a few weeks ago and plan on going again in August. There is no issues, I would keep the baby in your tent though, that's nuts to put them in another tent, unless it's just a separate room in your tent. We just use the pack and play and that's what she sleeps in. There are times, that I get kinda apprehensive.. A has been having a hard time falling asleep, she needs to CIO. But when it was night time, I would just go into the car until she feel aslesp then bring her out to the fire.. No Big Deal ! !
I love camping with her. . . HONESTLY . . . .

When it's time for the second, I would like to get out of the house more, which means I will keep this one in Daycare for a couple of the days. Meet other mom's earlier. For me, I will do formula feeding from the beginning... Both of my families agree(in-laws and mine).. I just do not produce enough milk and I will not live with an irratable baby that isn't getting enough food. Agree to help when it is given...
Other than that I think we would stay the same..
