I have a 5 month old. I haven't slept in 5 months.
Its awesome and the feeling when he was born was indescribable, but hot damn I'm ready for him to be just a little self-sufficient.
3 things that have been incredible for us:
-My wife is an incredible mother
-My son is a healthy baby and sleeps well
-We have committed ourselves to not being held hostage by our kid, meaning that we still go out to dinner a lot and get babysitters so we can go to concerts, etc. Even when you're dead tired, its important to continue enjoying life.
ETA:
The most joy we get right now is watching him change. It seems every day he has new "trick" like reaching for us to pick him up, giggling in a new way, holding his own bottle, etc. You start to notice the slightest of changes and maturation. Very cool stuff.
