Would they wear him in a sling or Moby? Or strange as it may sound, would the care provider visit you in your home to spend time with your son? Sort of a transition phase in a familiar environment? Shorter times earlier in the day to...

Wow -- thank you for all of the thoughtful replies. I kept meaning to post sooner, but there was just so much to ponder -- the struggles of part-timing, the question of vocation, the importance of living and modeling a joy-filled life,...

I said no more for a while, then he said no more for a while (we are talking years here) and then I asked him to cancel three vasectomy appointments and voila, we both were in agreement and now we have a baby girl.
