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.

My wife is taking 18 months, but I just took a new job that starts in 2 weeks and the baby is due in December. I already told my work I have a baby coming, but not sure how much time I can really take off being a new staff...
Ironically, the position was open because they needed more help since a girl is about to go on mat leave. lol
