How does having a baby change you?

Ok guys lately, I’ve been grappling with feelings of stagnation, often described as a midlife crisis. Recently, my partner and I learned that we are expecting a child. This news has prompted me to reflect on the potential impact of parenthood. For the parents here, How did the arrival of your child influence your life? and In what ways did becoming a parent affect your sense of purpose and fulfillment?

I would greatly appreciate your insights and experiences.

Definitely significant changes. Although when you try to think about it --

* somethings you think will change, do.
* somethings you think will change, don't.
* somethings you never thought of, will change.

Big lesson learned is to keep exercising and don't neglect your health. Sleep when you can, and colic is a *itch...

Up to now, may time seemed steady, not a lot of noticeable changes. Now you'll think someone turned on the fast forward. Take lots of photos.
