Congratulations!

You are absolutely correct: your life will change dramatically. In short: your time is not yours anymore. You have responsibilities now. Other things are more important than your hobbies, and even more important than your work. As a parent, you live for your children.

It's still possible to make time for your hobbies, but it takes more planning, and it will never be as much as when you were simply on your own. But before you despair (which you will, often), keep in mind that kids are not just tons of work, they're also tons of fun. They're curious and inquisitive and love to learn new stuff. And you get to teach them that. Take their neverending "why?" questions seriously and try to answer them to the best of your ability. If you don't know, figure it out together. Build lego together, play with numbers together, read together, play Minecraft together, and program together.
