Default New baby on probation

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has been in my situation or has some info on this. I've been on property about 6 months and my wife is due with our second child in mid August. I know I don't technically qualify for FMLA from United until I have been here for at least 12 months and flown 500 hours. Someone was telling me the other day that I may be eligible for some FMLA from the state of NJ since I am based there. While getting some pay would obviously be nice, I'm more concerned with getting the time off for the first few weeks after the baby is born. Since the FMLA folks say I'm not eligible, what options do I have? I'm planning on contacting the CPO but I wanted to get all the info I could before doing so. I'd love the put something on the UAL pilot forum but for whatever reason my registration keeps getting rejected. Thanks in advance for your help.
