Congratulations. Kids are wonderful.

I have one. I don’t know how people have more than one. The first several months are hard, especially is your wife is up every four hours for feeding and pumping milk. It gets better when the baby can eat other foods and sleep through the night.

You do not appreciate how much time and freedom you used to have. You will find yourself far less mobile and flexible.

Okay. Now that I’ve said that stuff: There is a tremendous joy that comes from seeing your kid do new things that everyone does. I was just commenting to my wife that it makes me super happy when my child successfully poops in the toilet. That sounds ridiculous, until you live for years without it.

Kids can bring you a lot of joy. I encourage you to enjoy it, and hope it is fulfilling for you.
