Still can't believe my company approved it. My boss said they're really trying to be better about this stuff. Baby #2 is coming in 2 months and now I'm actually excited instead of stressed about missing everything. Trying not to feel guilty about it but this is huge for our family.
Nice work getting that approved. With two kids you're gonna want that time to help your older one adjust and just be present. My company finally came around too after I asked.
Three months is a blessing. You'll get to be there for all those early moments instead of rushing back. Enjoy every second of it with baby #2.
This is huge news for how companies are changing. More dads should take it. Normalize being present for the early stuff.
Your wife is going to feel so much better having you home those first three months. That's the real win here, not just for you but for your whole family.
Are you planning to actually take the full three months or is your company the type that expects you to check emails? Make sure you really take it.
Three months is a game changer. Congrats on the company actually following through. That time with a newborn is stuff you can't get back so make the most of it.
