    9 months here. It gets better. IT GETS BETTER.

    The first couple of months are hell. Make sure you and your girlfriend both get breaks when you can, and prioritise sleep. Celebrate the little things, because the only big things this month will be bags under eyes and bags of nappies. Call on family for support if you can. Invite friends over to meet the baby.

    When she starts sleeping for longer periods your life will start to come back. You’re daddy forever now, though!

    Hang in there buddy. You’re going through the worst part of it all, but this too will pass. You have the strength to power through. You got this.
