First night home from hospital was insane

Just wanted to share because I'm still running on adrenaline. We brought our daughter home yesterday and I honestly didn't sleep at all. Not because I couldn't, but because I kept checking if she was breathing every 10 minutes. My wife finally told me to chill out around 3am. She's fine, she's sleeping fine, but man the anxiety is real. Every noise she makes sends me into high alert. I know this probably gets easier but wow I was not prepared for how intense this would be.

Dude that's amazing. Savor every moment even when it's crazy. Before you know it she'll be asking you for the car keys.

Congrats man! That first night is absolutely wild. We just brought our twins home a few weeks ago and I didn't sleep at all, just kept checking if they were breathing. You're gonna crash hard in like two days though so get rest when you can.

The adrenaline crash is real. After we came home with our first, I think I was awake for like 36 hours straight just from pure nervous energy. Enjoy that newborn phase, it goes so fast.
