Got back to the office Monday after my full 12 weeks and man it was weird. But also I got to see my daughter for literally every milestone those first 3 months. First real smile, first time rolling over, all of it. My wife got actual rest instead of going crazy alone with a newborn. Yeah my inbox was chaos but honestly best decision we made. Company was fine without me. My family needed me more. Worth it 100%.

Lucky dude. That's the dream right there. Did you struggle with the transition or was it kind of a relief to have some structure again?

12 weeks is incredible. I got maybe 2 weeks and had to fight for it. How are you feeling about being back? I remember that weird mix of wanting to be home but also kind of needing the adult interaction.

Man that must have been wild. Going from all day with the baby to full work mode. At least you got a real chunk of time bonding first.
