A final word on this topic. Post partum depression is a real occurrance. Be sensitive and make sure you address your wife's concerns that she and your child come first. Rather than announce your intention to go to practice I would ask "Would you miss me for a few hours...". Then, pick up some flowers or her favorite sweet treat on the way home.

I may have terrible kumdo, but I have been around.

This will be the hardest part of it (hopefully not) I wish you a great time. It is awesome, pretty much the best in a life time. Old warrior's wisdom is right on target.

But be aware that post partum can creep in. When we had our first child, i was studying & working heavily & didnt notice that my wife was suffering from it. Especially since she had only been speaking english for a little over a year coupled with that fact that she's normally a quiet, reserved person.

If you can do take the maternity leave for fathers (check with your job).
as for kendo, dont worry you'll be back with out notice of time lost. But that baby is going to really lighten up your insides

Congratulations!
