Well, some news from me. We are having our first kid at the end of September. Very exciting on many fronts!
However, the degree of upcoming uncertainty has triggered my OMY syndrome, that and we are grounded in the couple of months before arrival. If stuck close to home, may as well work through that time and build a little more buffer for uncertainty.
So, the current plan is to take July off to do a couple of bucket list things pre kids, then resign on arrival of the baby. Wife has 6 months maternity leave organised, so will have 6 months together to play happy family. I've told my work to set a hard date for myself.
