The honest conversation about giving up my hobbies

I used to play in a softball league and do some woodworking on weekends. Haven't touched my tools in 8 months and I quit the league when my daughter was born. I thought I'd be fine with it but honestly I'm not. I feel like I've completely disappeared into "dad" and I don't know who I am anymore.

My wife suggested I start doing something again but timing it with a 5-month-old and both of us working feels impossible. Even thinking about being gone for 2 hours makes me feel guilty. Is this just the newborn phase or did I actually give up that part of myself? Do other dads manage to keep their interests or are we all just putting that stuff in a box for the next 18 years?
