05 Oct 2026on Which baby things are hard to get in a hurry once the baby is here?
Car seat for the ride home was on neither of our lists. It goes in the buy-now column, which my partner will count as a point for the spreadsheet :)
69 Sept 2026on Take my one week of paternity leave at the birth, or save it for later?
I hadn't thought of half days. With our timetable a morning-only arrangement wouldn't help much, but starting after the first two periods might. I'll ask before the term plan is fixed.

That's what my head of department said too. He also added 'not during exam week', which is the more likely problem.
05 Jul 2026on First-year baby budget spreadsheet: which costs did I miss?
Unpaid leave wasn't on the sheet at all. My partner's company is decent about leave. Mine is a school and I haven't even asked HR what I get yet 🙂 Adding a row tonight.
