Subject: Out of Office – Baby Edition

Hi [Manager’s Name],

Just a heads-up—I’ll soon be starting the biggest “project” of my life: parenthood! My maternity leave is scheduled to start on [Start Date], and I expect to return on [Return Date], hopefully a little more sleep-deprived but a lot happier.

I’ll make sure to hand over my work so you don’t get stuck with late-night “deliveries” of a different kind. Thanks for your support—I promise to share baby pictures instead of spreadsheets for a while.

Cheers,

[Your Name]
