"Maternity" Leave

I have taken maternity leave or should I say daddio leave from January 1st, 2009. I'm going to be at home for 7 months, until about last july. This means that I will be with Milton for 7 months... 7 months ! Ohhh, happy days... :)

I can see us going swimming, movies, parks, fishing, throwing and kicking balls... just anything... I can´t wait. Only 4 months left :)

For all non-swedes I have to add that it´s paid leave. Of course I don´t know what´s the deal in your country but in Sweden we get 240 days paid leave. Roughly counted we get 76% out of our original pay. That´s enough to pay the bills and still have money left for food and fun :)
