First off, Congratulations to both you and your wife. My wife and I have two boys (3 and 4) and we're expecting our third baby. I'm an FO at a regional and we're trying to get through it. From my perspective, babysitting is the biggest problem that we are facing since daycare would put us over financially. I think if you have the babysitting issues taken care of that would be a little less stress for you while you are in training or flying. My wife and I are looking forward to our new addition and I'm hoping that I'll be able to hold a good line by then or if not then I would just opt to be on long call reserve. I know that having the first child or any which number it is, you would want to be there for every little thing that they do for the first time. I guess by signing up for this profession that is something, initially that we have traded in for. What I do with my sons right now is enjoy the couple of days that I have with them and make sure that we as a family have a great time together when I'm there. Congratulations once again and hope everything will work out for your family as you have planned.
