[QUOTE="lastcall190, post: 15606865, member: 23171"] For what it's worth I'll give my two cents. My wife and I knew we would want children, just didnt know when the right time was. We have been together 8 yrs and married just about 4. Marriage IMO changed nothing. Others opinions may vary but that's mine. A child changed everything. I was scared shitless too man. The whole pregnancy I was just terrified of something happening to my wife or our unborn. The day finally came, she pushed once and out it came a beautiful baby girl. I cried like a birch but I don't care. It was one of the most surreal and happiest moments in my life as I sat there and held my daughter for the first time. Since then EVERYTHING changed. Good or bad, that depends on you guys. Good on you for straightening your finances out. I was shit with my money years back and regret it. Oh well. Child care is not cheap and many I talk to in our neighborhood or just around say oh have your parents or in-laws watch. Parents are old and not in physical shape to watch infants and in-laws are dead so that would be a trick. You will encounter times in the first few months where you want to explode out of frustration perhaps. They key with me and my wife was when one saw the other was bugging out, call the bullpen, go for a 2 minute cool down and other parent step in. We are always smiling around our daughter and try to be in our best moods. She doesn't care if I had a shit day at work or feel like shit. She expects 100% from me and its up to me to give it to her. As for the ancillary stuff? Lack of sleep was interesting but its not the worst. I get up at 345am religiously though now just to work out. It would never happen after work as I want to be home with my family. Daughter is asleep at 645 and I'm dozing by 845. 1.5yrs in and sleep isnt an issue for anyone in my house. Now when we have a second, well, ****. Some of that advice might be trash but its all just my opinion. I typed only mobile so forgive the errors. Good luck man. Edit. Ton of errors after rereading whoops -J [/QUOTE]
