I received six weeks leave. I was given an extra week because we ended up in the Nicu. Two girls got pregnant the following year and are getting eight. I feel a little punished for having the first kid but will enjoy eight weeks with the next!

I was self-employed when we had the Little Miss, so I became off indefinitely. Simple Cheap Dad got a top up from work for the first three months so we were both home together. He could have stayed home for 10 months, but he was fairly new at his job and we were worried about living on half his salary (which we do now anyway, but it seemed scary then)
