I got new St Augustine grass resodded 3 days ago and it has been raining like crazy which I am happy about. On the care tips by the company who resodded the grass, they said to put pesticide treatment immediately after resodding. I have an appointment on Oct 17 to pesticide the grass which is about 10 days after the install.

Is that common though? I am a little scared it will ruin the grass since it may not even be rooted yet? What do you think?

I am in the US and my job does not offer short term disability insurance nor offer paid maternity leave. I do get FMLA but that is not paid for during leave.

I contacted a private short term disability insurance and they cover 4 weeks vaginal and 6 weeks C-section. The benefit coverage is 3 months and 85 dollars a month with a 9 month waiting period. Though, if I were to have a normal, easy delivery with no complications, I would only get 4-6 weeks paid coverage, not 3 months.

Just starting to think I will just have to use sick time and PTO which in total is 4 weeks and just save my own money aside.

I live in Florida and I do not see any state programs for maternity leave. Any suggestions? What are you guys doing to prepare?

We are getting married at a gazebo with 10 guests, it will be a small ceremony. The surrounding area is okay, its just trees and the gazebo and a small bridge. I am worried our photos will look all the same with the same background since the area just doesn't have enough going on.

I am considering driving 20 minutes to a location that serves more a photogenic look but we only booked the photographer for 2 hours from 2-4 and ceremony at 3. I would lose 20 minutes of photography by travel plus we would only get about 35 minutes of pictures taken at the nice location till we had to leave to the ceremony.

I don't know what to do, I tried to find locations near by but nothing.

Please note: I have never gotten professional pictures before, so I don't know how many pictures can be taken in 35 minutes and if 20 minutes will be a big loss. Any photographers with suggestions?

Any recommendations for a restaurant with private dining for 13 people? Something nice, it doesn't have to be so upscale.
