Wifey and I are 28, our boy is 4 months old. I must say that it has been an amazing journey! The arrival of this boy has added so much joy to the family, everything is so different now but in a good way. If you know how to manage your time properly you will get things done easily, and you will still have some of time to enjoy your hobby.

The key is you have to start with a good feeding and sleeping routine for your baby since birth. We attended a parenting class organized by some christian organisation and we have learnt so much from it. My son sleeps in his own room now, he doesnt throw tantrum and only cries when he needs to eat. We are still working on the night time feeds, waking up once or twice per night. hopefully he will drop his midnight feeds soon.

I say dont be afraid and enjoy the journey. Touching and bonding your own baby is the best feeling in the world. Have fun!

My deepest condolences to you and your family.
Tough journey ahead.

Only time will heal, stay strong.
