  Mister Mom
Jessica is on sick leave now, inasmuch as you can take sick leave from maternity leave. It sounds as unreal as it is; Jessica can't take a leave from being Hannes's mother. What it means is that when she is on her sick leave, she can save up her maternity leave days for later.

It also means that I am on a four-week paternal leave now. For those of you who think that government takes care of us all in Finland, I can just say that it is basically an unpaid leave of absence from work, but I will get about 50 percent of my pay from the "government." (No need to go into details which part of the G pays that compensation).

It feels good to be at home, it really feels like that's exactly where I need to be now. It'll be fun, too, we can do whatever we want and there are no meetings, no schedules, no projects to take care of.

Hopefully there will be more time for me to write this blog as well.
