How much time are you intending taking off?

I just started a new contract this week and am due in October. While September/October are really busy months, I can get most of the work done before I leave and then November, December, January are pretty quiet around here. They would need to get someone to cover my work but I'm only planning on having 3 months off so it wouldn't be too long (4 months if you count before I'm actually due).

Start your new job and see how you go.

Good luck!
