I really hope so mitchell2. Fingers crossed anyway! It's a great job, and I know positions with them don't come up that often which is why i didnt want to let it just pass me by.
Even my current employer though has been very non-committal regards where I will stand within the business once I return which is very frustrating. Although I have already confirm my return to work date, I think theu are afraid that I will change my mind and will take longer off, or will want to come back part time.
It's very frustrating as people don't seem to understand that financially, not everyone can afford to take a long period of time off. I am also very lucky that my husband is keen to be very hands on so he has already reduced his hours to 4 days a week, and is planning on taking some additional paternity leave once the baby is 5 months and obviously I am back to work. Because I'm the main breadwinner, we can afford to take the hit on his salary but cannot afford to take it on mine. If I was on SMP, we wouldn't even have enough to pay our mortgage, utility bills, credit card and car payments... 
I'm not the only one in this position though and I'm sure as hell not going to be the last!
Most people seem to be very negative about the fact I'm returning to work so soon. My uncle is the only one that has applauded me for it - his wife is a career woman and returned to work within 10 weeks. He thinks it's a excellent stand to take within the work place and also a great example to set my daughter about how women really can do it all so long as they have the right support from their other half.
I just wish that the maternity/paternity leave laws were in effect already as I would return to work even sooner and let dh take off instead.
