Gosh u are so lucky man! 2 years is awesome & very lucky! Is it paid leave? Well I will be home for about 5 months total adding up all my leave, vacation days...etc....also my state offers "leave to Bond with Baby".....so it's better than nothing. It is difficult situation but Inshallah all will be well. My mom raised 3 kids and worked full time and she was able to somehow magically manage everything. Same with some of my friends...so it should play out fine in the end. We are trying to work something out, so let's see how that goes. I do like the place I work as they are pretty flexible and understand demands of family...etc....so dekho. Just pray Allah watches over us and Allah makes situation better.
With my son, my hubby was able to change his work schedule so he was home during the day with son & then I was with him in the evenings. It was tough for us, but worked out great in terms of one of us always being with the baby.
