[quote=Anonymous]I am new to the parent game but we decided to have one thinking that we'd regret it more if we didn't--but not exactly bringing a parade to the baby-making game. We knew we'd be very happy just the two of us. During the fourth trimester I regretted it everyday. I honestly thought if someone came to my door and offered to give him to a deserving family I would 100% have thought it was for the best. Now, though, a little light has turned on in him and us and we're just beyond. Watching my husband become a dad brings so much joy to my life, and seeing this little human develop makes me want to cry just thinking about it. It's helped a ton going back to work and having my own space. We also both still go to the gym regularly.

Another thing that has helped is that I was worried about FOMO, but honestly now the vast majority of people we know have kids, many this year, so it hasn't impacted our social lives at all basically. The only true FOMO I have is that I have had to put my greatest hobby on hold--travel. We just got back from Spain with him, and it was lovely, but it was a v different trip than what I would have wanted. Bigger things, like my dream to go to Japan, would have happened this year if he wasn't born, and who knows when that can happen now.

Outside of that the biggest thing that has made this is a joy is that my husband never, ever leaves more work for me. He is totally committed to keeping the household running and I never have to ask him to do anything. And each day as the baby is getting older he's taking on more and more with him. When I ween the baby it will really be 50-50. [/quote]
