Speaking of maternity leave, I have some funny story that happened a few years ago.
Though not on TWC, JC Monahan is a meteorologist on WCVB-TV (Boston, ABC), and in 2006, she got pregnant, due in October. So when that time came around, she left in about mid-October. My first thought was "Wow, she's due this month, don't worry. She's just taking the day off to give birth and she'll be back tomorrow like it never happened." She didn't return until about early January, but I NEVER knew about maternity leave about the time.
Just imagine that, "Hey Bill! I need today off so I can go to the hospital and give birth! Don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow! Thanks a lot for giving me today off! Bye!"
Anyhow, best of luck to Jen and her kids. Her daughters will turn out to be very beautiful, and we'll all know where the looks came from.
