Me, on the other hand, honestly, what I did is that I used my paternity leave both times to just do other work projects. I remember I was working on a podcast five and a half years ago, a solo podcast project. And I spent basically my entire paternity leave at home when I was not helping out with the baby, just working on that thing because I don't really know how to stop.

And I don't know what else I would do with my time.

The beginning, the very beginning is the, it's the easiest time. I mean, you will like the, the, it's really real. The hardest part is sleeping because the baby will be waking you up constantly, but yeah, baby's just, baby's not doing much. It doesn't really require that much of your work. Like you're going to sit around and be bored.

Like I have a feeling that you will, it'll be very interesting to see what you do. Do you find other things to do? Like, like Jen, um, really committed to watching a bunch of trashy TV and just checking out and just enjoying being on a break. Whereas I didn't. I don't know how to do that. So I just worked on something else that wasn't my work.

I wonder what you were going to do when you would just have like, you have permission to have a break right now, Nicole. You have permission to have a break.

Right. Can I tell you that as we were talking, I was just flashing back to this moment. This to me was the, I don't know, maybe I've shared this with you before. I can't remember. So tell me if not. When I think back on this moment of transition from not having children to having children and just like an awareness moment for me, I don't know. I don't know how to categorize this thing.

I'll just tell you what it is, which is that I remember... Nine years ago, Jen is pregnant with her first boy. And she is like you. She's just like, couldn't be more pregnant. You know, like we were we were who knows. We were hours to days away from from the whole thing going. And we were sitting on our living room floor. And I don't know what we were doing.

Maybe we were playing a game or something. I don't know what we were doing. And it occurred to me, and so what I said to her was, I said, everyone always says, after having children for a long time, you sort of can't remember life without them. Just because your life is just so different. It's like, what did I do with all my time? You sort of forget. And I said, we are living right now
