My wife and I are expecting our first child this October and so this question goes out for all you guys who have been in this boat before....

We only have practice once or twice a week, and I don't think I'm going to be able to go to class at all for at least the first two months... (not getting enough sleep and then all the other intangibles of having a newborn in the house)...

My question is -- assuming that everything with the birth goes well and the baby is healthy, does anyone have an idea of how long it will take before I can reasonably expect to get back to class?
I'm sure there are probably a lot of "it depends" type of answers, but I really have no idea what to expect.

I'm also guessing that travelling will be completely out of the picture.. so, I'm figuring I don't know when I'll be able to get to a 4.dan shinsa next year...

Thanks for any responses...
