Though it may be one of the most extraordinary experiences in a person's life, bringing a new baby into the house is a challenge, and somethings that new parents will voice with in some, maybe unexpected ways.
Babies do not sleep like grown ups. This is just one of the many changes that new parents must adapt to in their new life of child rearing. Babies only sleep for, like, two hours at a time.
You will finally adjust your lifestyle to the changes that come to you. But at first, the lack of sleep will lead to problems like stress and crankiness throughout the days.
Parents will recognize a whole new realm of public life that is dissimilar from the way that it was before you have a baby. Even a trip to the parents house is amazingly more difficult and you will have to deal. Just straight.
It may be harder to keep up with friends, especially the ones who do not have the children of their very own. But you can do it. You can do it if you make the effort. The endeavor is to keep in touch.
There are some absolutely cool things that happen too, though. You start to absolutely feel like a responsible grown-up in so many ways. And then not so much in others. You will begin to feel a real turn in the way you respond to the world. Like, you will feel a protective instinct kick in whenever somebody else handles your child.
You will feel the changes as they happen to you. The biggest is that you will now feel that the world has consequences for more than just yourself; it affects your child too.
You should expect all or some of these things to happen to you - and expecting them will make it a wee easier to cope. The best thing to do, though, is to cultivate a maintain network with your friends and family.
