Babies are great. Little kids are great.
When that girl gets her period...your life is OVER. fricking send them to boarding school til they are 21. They are crazy as hell.
We raised a boy and 3 girl children, and without a doubt the girls are harder.

ell jr. is almost 9 months. The first 2 months were the toughest, but really, it's because you spend all that time adjusting and learning and not sleeping. Once we adjusted to him and he adjusted his sleeping, it's been pretty smooth.
He is, by far, the coolest person I know.
Congrats.

its tough but a labor of love. prayers that you have a healthy little one.......the alternative can be earth-shattering.

Yes, yes they are and although in some ways they get easier as they get older...they also get to be pains in the asses, stupid, and cost more money.
Some babies are easier than others as well as kids. Don't let it scare you though. You learn to adapt.

we rarely slept for the first year. Our boy has colic and rarely slept unless it was on us, or he just cried non stop. It was really fricking rough. My wife and I were at each others throats from frustration and lack of sleep. But he's almost 4 now, and he is the most amazing thing. The only problem now, is dealing with my own issues regarding him. I constantly have panic attacks thinking about bad things that could happen to him out in the world. That now keeps me up at night. It's only going to get worse as he gets older. I guess that's part of being a parent.

Congrats! They can be tough, but it has alot to do with your temperament and expectations. If you are uptight, nervous, and scared and/or if you think life will be the same and you can do/go as you please, things could be difficult. If however, you are laid back, enjoy babies and are willing to sacrifice certain things you were used to for the betterment of your child/family things will be great.
Being a parent is about being selfless and patient.

What am I in for in the first year?
Read 12 weeks to 12 hours of sleep. Have a plan for dealing with them and most importantly for the first year is to start and keep a schedule. With our first we learned that meals, naps, bathtime and bedtime schedule was critical. We were probably overkill but we really didnt vary the schedule my more than 5 minutes. Things went great.
We know have 4 and maintain control better than many parents with 1 or 2. That has alot to do with our willingness to be parents first. Oh and my wife is a control freak and very organized...and hot

Congrats. Little girls are the best for a father. Teenage girls...not so much so you better teach her how she needs to be treated.

After the initial 1st few months, it's not that it's hard, it's just very time consuming lol.

Piece of cake until they outnumber you and the wife. It starts getting interesting after that, especially if they're close together.

Welcome to parenthood--best years of your life!

Babies seem easy enough but my wife takes care of the day to day stuff.

I am not even sure where to begin. I have two girls, 17 and 2. From what I can remember of the oldest growing up, the baby is a chip off the ole block.
they were both very easy going, did not cry much but very emotional.
the first 6 months of life were not bad, just very tiresome.
everything after that is fairly easy, except when the oldest got to about 3rd grade. young girls are very cold, bitchy, and out right mean
now I am dealing with dating and driving with oldest and potty training with the youngest

Congrats.
I have a 3.5 yr old daughter. Greatest thing that ever happened to me. She is definitly Daddy's girl and I wouldn't want it any other way. She follows me around everywhere and gets into anything I am trying to do. At times it is aggravating in the moment, taking tools, losing screws, etc but take a breath and remember they are only young once. Enjoy every minute of it. hell I even enjoy painting her nails when she asks and I have learned how to braid, frenchbraid, pigtails and all sorts of hair crap.

I'm terrified of changing a baby girl's diaper. My friend told me about how he had to clean shite of his daughter's vagina and it scarred me for life.

I have twin girls and a baby boy...the girls were unmitigated hell on wheels. The boy is chill.
I would think 1 baby, boy or girl, would be a piece of cake. Don't be afraid to take her out with you and do stuff. You really only have a window of about 6 months before going out with her becomes completely impossible.
