I feel like we're cheating somehow with both Laura and I off and looking after Alice. Aren't we supposed to be at our wits end by day 8? I think that everyone is quite happy so far with us being able to tag team and work at getting things done. I can't imagine how difficult it would be with a new child by yourself. It wouldn't be fun.
I feel very lucky with our setup. I feel we're doing something that most people would never get the chance to do and in a way I feel a bit guilty about that. But there is no way that I'd ever pass up this opportunity to be at home with my girls for so long.
I took a couple weeks off for each of my 3 kids. Really nice to spend time with your babies in those first few days of their life. The time went by way to fast though. Sure wish I could have stayed home longer.
