congrats and my condolences. lol.
say goodbye to sleep.
and sex
and probably oral too.
Congratulations. Enjoy. I would advise you to participate in the middle of the night feedings and diaper changes as much as possible. More than likely the noise will wake you up anyways.
And definitely don't let the kid sleep with you. Ever. Not only for safety but once they learn the habit it'll be impossible to break and next thing you know you'll have a 6 year old in bed with you. I stuck my son in a crib the first night home and we never had an issue.
And I'll add that I hope you got married for the right reasons, not just because she was knocked up.
Yeah they do grow up fast. My son is 8 going on 18 and I swear I was just changing diapers. They are fun when they're little, but a TON of work and I'm glad I'm not having more.
Every time a friend or family member has a baby now all I think to myself is "no fucking way I would ever do that again".
We had some practice though, a friend of ours just had a kid and around three months, they needed some to watch a couple of nights and that kid pressed my patience. But he prepared me though. We watched him off and on for another 3 - 4 months.
