Newly expectant parents (November). Any advice from young parents in the city? We live down in Fidi/Seaport in a two bedroom, dad mostly remote with 12 weeks leave (can be taken in chunks) and mom in office 4 days with up to 26 weeks (company time + some unpaid).

Depends on your budget for childcare/ other help like parents. Early on, take all your leave, first 3-6 months are awful. Don't go overboard on buying stuff, you can get clothes and books and toys for free so easily. Everything else you can Amazon in a day or 2.

Biggest thing is to enjoy your life before the baby comes, because afterwards it's not your life anymore 😀.
