Hey man thanks for this post and sharing your story... as a father of 3(soon 4) people always are like "oh you have kids???" and think that it is almost always negative...
In the end, we always have to do what we have to do for our kids and whether you are in retail or in a startup its always gonna be hard... but you and I seem to be brave enough to take on that task...
It will be hard but it will also be alot of fun...
I don't have a question, but I wanted to say that you're very right to guard your time with your family. For at least the first year of my son's life, I can't count how many times I'd come home from work and I could see a difference in him compared to the day before. Maybe not even something I could quite put my finger on, but I could just tell there was something different about him. They change and learn so quickly that you could miss a lot in only a few days, let alone weeks or months.
My six week old daughter recently started to smile at me. Even knowing it's just mirroring my face, and there's not much in the way of consciousness there, I could have died happy...

Same here, six week old daughter. Best feeling ever.
This is so true. I didn't think it could be some fast. Some days she changes so much, it's impressive...new skills every now and then.
As a new dad (Mirah's six weeks today :)), congrats, and thanks for sharing!
Congrats to you! :)
