Stay at home Dad

Hi there, do any of you out there have your DH stay at home and watch the baby or are you planning on doing it? We are highly considering it since DH just finished school and doesn't really have anything to lose right now. We aren't due until May but with the cost of daycare he would rather stay home and work p/t so he can spend time with the baby. Just wondering how others have managed this and if their DH is stay at home what type of p/t job does he have if any? Thanks!

    My DH is going to be a SAHD. For us, this makes the most sense. I am a little jealous, but hoping that will subside as I get into the swing of working again. I go back on the 3rd.
    Can't figure out the signature thing, so here's the short, short version.....first daughter born on November 10, 2013. She was conceived through the magic of IVF after 2+ years of TTC.

    yes although having my DH watch our baby is the next best thing to having me stay home it just doesn't make sense for us either. I'm sure I will be very jealous at first, how can we not right?!
