How did your life change when you had your first newborn

Lost sleep and lost freedom

It’s amazing that everything in your life takes one step down the priority list and you don’t mind a bit.

Make it through the first 6 months. From 6 months on - it is great.

When the baby sleeps
You sleep

I have less money

All those saying lost sleep, I think it really depends on the kid. Mine slept through the night at 2 months old and always did afterwards. The less money is definitely accurate though.

(no message)

I fell in love the moment I found out I was pregnant. Everything that once mattered wasn’t so important. I’m a very meek person IRL but having a child made me speak up. You’re their voice, you’re their protection and those instincts never leave you. It’s hard to watch them stumble and fail but this is what makes and builds character. I mean how do you recognize success if there is no failure?

And lastly, discipline when needed but explain yourself.



Congrats!!!

First few months were brutal. Some babies do not sleep much. Mine is 7 months and only now sleeps more than four hours at a time.

As a newborn shite was brutal

Constantly having to plan car rides, lunches, dinners, etc. around the baby eating. The first baby didnt change much. The wife and I were still able to get out the house alone sometimes to get some quiet time. Now we have 2 kids under 3 and you constantly have a kid attached to you, asking 2000 questions, mostly consisting of the same questions.
