And the more men step up and do this sort of thing- the less detrementing it'll be for lady programmers to ask for time off around the same thing. I'm scared for the day #2 comes along for this reason- my bosses in the past weren't understanding about my motherly responsibilities as they had stay at home wives and never had to deal with it. But your article is 100%, they should have been there!

Good luck with number two and congrats!!
