Sgt-Pt - I would say, talk to your wife about it. In my situation, they were newborns, so having him home fo the first while would be great - to help with the lack of sleep. But with a toddler?? If it were me, then we would probably take some time off - a week or two, to get to know each other. With some fun activities and outings, mixed with quiet down time, like reading stories, etc. Then hubby would go back to work, but be home a little early each night. He gets home late - like 6:30, and the kids go to bed at 7:30. With a new child especially, there should maybe be more together time than that, to help build the relationship.
Anyway, everyone is different, so you and your wife need to coordinate that one. Don't know what to tell you for sure. Good luck, by the way! Do you have a child in mind already?
