Default RE: Baby on the way...

First and foremost, congrats! Your life is about to change dramatically, but for the better. My daughter is now 2.5 years old, but right after she was born I immediately learned that when they say you won't get any sleep at the beginning, they really meant you won't get ANY sleep! That was a long time ago, but the last time I "slept in" past 7:00AM is before she was born. She's up between 5:30 and 6:00AM every morning!

You'll have very little time if you want to be a fair parent. What you'll realize (at least I did) that as your child gets older, you want to spend even more time with him/her which limits your extracurricular activities. I rarely get to fly (4 times this past summer) but I still enjoy building, which I do a little here or there when my daughter is sleeping and if I'm up to it.
