On the very day you were born, the law in the UK changed to allow parents to share maternity leave. Your mother and I decided to take advantage of the new rules - she's now returned to work a month early and I'm taking the balance of her entitlement so I can be your full-time carer for a month.
This way, I get a break from work, I get to spend lots of time bonding with you and understanding what it really takes to look after you 24/7, and your mum gets a buffer zone between being your full-time carer and shipping you off to nursery.
Well, so far so good... You had a vomiting fit yesterday (only your second one ever), slept awfully overnight, and now I'm worried you might have a temperature. This is Day 1 of my Additional Paternity Leave. Sheesh.
Your mum, meanwhile, reports that she is enjoying work today!
