“But it’s all worth it”

“But it’s all worth it” is the sentence you normally hear uttered in
form of a mantra by parents when it comes to the conversation about
having children. Well, count me in ;-)

Maybe it’s too early, but little more than three weeks after the birth
of my son, I can say that I get little sleep (which I am used too, but
it used to be on my own terms). It’s especially taking it’s tool on my
wife, who’s been on her own with him during the day now for the first
time after having excellent support from my mother in law for almost
three full weeks (thanks!).

Despite feeling tired (I can only get through one page of the book I am
trying to read on the train before falling asleep) and frustrated about
not being able to follow up with all other duties as needed, there is
that “cloud of happiness” around my head. A little look at our son can make things good again. It is all worth it – and it’s only just the beginning.
