I did the 9 weeks with the first one. It was great.
I was originally planning to take 6 weeks for the baby coming in Jan. But I just got laid off so I don't think it'll be great for me to start a new job and be like adios for 6 weeks. That's if I start a new job by the time baby is here.

First child my wife took the first 10 and I took the last 2. Best thing ever! Regardless I highly recommend taking some time as a dad solo there's nothing like that experience.
