"Our new daughter is coming soon, and I'm planning to take two months of paternity leave again," the social media pioneer continued. "This time, I'm going to take advantage of Facebook's option to take leave in parts. I'll take a month off to be with Priscilla and the girls at the beginning, and then we'll spend the whole month of December together as well."
