re: How difficult are babies really

First off, congratulations. I have a daughter as well, and there's nothing like it.
It's really not that bad, imo. Just be prepared to lose a lot of sleep and change a lot of diapers. If you and your wife work together and share responsibilities then it's really not that tough. Once you get your daughter on a normal sleep routine (sleeping through the entire night) it will be much easier for you. Just make sure you always burp her after feeding. Sometimes I'd pat my daughter on the back for several minutes and I'd be about to give up and then she'd give a huge burp. I sure do miss all of those baby smells.

This. And i miss being able to hold my boy for longer than a couple seconds. Now he just wiggles out of my hugs and runs off to play.

Pretty much all of this.
At first you're going to be overwhelmed and thinking "how the frick am I going to do this?" and suddenly it'll become second nature and you'll be in a routine.
There's nothing like the first time they smile at you, the first time they say your name, the first time they toddle up to you with outstretched arms when you get home, and the first time they say "I love you."
