This kid is going to cost you sleep. In fact, it's going to start three months before it's born. Your wife is going to find it much more awkward to roll over in the night. It's going to become a procedure, one you won't be able to sleep through.

This kid is going to cost you most (not all, but more than half) of your leisure time.

This kid is going to be worth all of that. Don't focus on how much leisure time you're losing (though you will, and it will be painful). I regret being so tied up in things I wanted to do, and not giving as much time and attention to my children as I should have. Don't do that.

I gained a shirt size, just from picking my daughter up over and over. My wife thought that suddenly the way she did the laundry was shrinking my shirts.

If you can, one of the most loving things you can do for your wife is hire someone to clean your house. She's got a lot more that she has to handle now; taking that load off of her can be a great help.
