Re: how long is hubby staying home?

It depends on what day of the week Chat Icon decides to make an appearance. He only works Monday-Thursday so if the baby comes on a Thursday he won't take any extra time off.

Obviously he will be there on the day of the birth. He will not take off while I'm in the hospital but when I come home, he will take 2 weeks. I don't need him in the hospital...just at home.

2 weeks. We did not take a vacation this year so his days are banked up for Ed-lie's arrival. He is looking forward to it!

Re: how long is hubby staying home?

We've talked about this. I'd like him home for at least the first couple of days. I know I'll have plenty of help between my mother and my MIL.

He gets 2 weeks paternity leave that he can use anytime up to 90 days after the baby is born. I think right now the plan is he will take those 2 weeks starting the last week my mother is with us, and then the following week. (He has to take them consecutively).

Re: how long is hubby staying home?

he will be home with us for 2 weeks, whether that means taking vacation time or sick time (depends on if Chat Icon comes in august or september).

Re: how long is hubby staying home?

Probably only a couple of days.. at most that week of the birth and that's it.

I need him to take off the last two weeks of the year so I'd rather him save his days.

Besides my Dad will be with me.

Re: how long is hubby staying home?

We think a week at first, but then he is going to take off most of December cause he has alot of vacation left and needs to use it by the end of the year.
