I'm due in March. I'm taking 8 weeks off this time. Last time I took off only 4 thinking that was a marathon amount of time
Turned out I was still exhausted and mentally/physically I wasn't ready for everyone back into my home so soon. I needed just a few more weeks to adjust and spend with my own kiddos.
My families have been really good about it. They all plan to come back as far as I know. I figure I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
