I have a 17 week old son. The best advice I can give you is make sure you're ready for the commitment that a baby needs and say goodbye to your personal life and watching any movies you wanted to see. Your friends will say "did you watch that game last night or see that new movie" and you will reply with no I have a baby remember. It's all worth it though when they just stare at you and smile. Nothing can replace the joy of your own child. It's amazing the amount of love you can have for a child. It will change your outlook on everything and show you how unimportant things really are. Having a loving family trumps anything in life.
I have been lucky to have a little one that has not once puked on me and is now sleeping through the night for the most part. The first 3 months he was up every couple of hours to eat but went right back to sleep after feeding.
I'm laughing at the changing a diaper comments. I have a special technique I use. I first do a side check to see if there is poo (that's for currentlysober) if there is poo I get the diaper all ready and open facing the right way with at least 2 wipes out of the box and lift at the ankles. I instantly cover his wee wee with a wipe to block any projecting wizz while ripping the old diaper out. I then replace the old diaper with the new and get it on as fast as possible. It's like changing a tire in nascar. It's a real bummer when he lets one fly the minute you get the new diaper on. I try and wait it out for a few minutes and say to him "get it all out" in hopes that he will understand so I don't waste a good diaper.
A funny line I heard the other day is your kids are like farts. You only love your own haha
