BEWARE of month number 1 with the baby. It is impossible to comprehend until you have a baby, and month 1 (especially week 1) will require more time than you can imagine. I was in the midst of multiple all-nighters on an architecture project around the time of birth (though I took the first week off) and I will never hear the end of my inability to help as much as I should have when the wife was as thoroughly exhausted as me. Life changes totally once you have a child. Once you understand what it means to have a different life as a family (which took me about a year), it is really a great thing. The transition from romance to family, though, is not easy, but that is a completely different topic. |

I'm taking the first two weeks off from work, and my mother-in-law will be here, so I'm hoping that I can really spend more time with my wife and new baby without sacrificing on the startup. Plus, the project's schedule should be such that my role during that time will be diminished somewhat and my partners will be working a bit more.
I don't want to say that I'm completely prepared for LAB (life after baby), but I'm as prepared as I can get.
