Everything – and I mean everything – that we thought we’d be able to get done or accomplished in the past few months got tossed out the window as soon as we realized just how much work learning how to manage a newborn would be. They don’t seem to tell you that in the parenting books, but it’s something all new parents find out sooner or later.
One of my college buddies said it to me best like this: “Just realize that your old life is completely and utterly over”. Sage advice AK!
