I hear you but I disagree about not being able to pull off your first startup with a baby. I'm in the beginning stages of my first startup and I find that having children has inspired me to use my time as wisely as possible. I'm better with money now and because my daughter doesn't ever seem to want to stop moving I'm much more active than I was.
I don't really find myself needing to work a lot of hours to make things happen so I'm able to spend plenty of time with my daughter. I have another kid on the way and while I've scaled back my feature list slightly for my next release I'm not terribly concerned about the impact to the business for a few months while I wait for things to settle down. I might be the exception to this though but so far it's been good.
You're 100% correct about how great children are. Children are totally amazing. My daughter is the happiest person I've ever met. She has no idea what I'm doing or why but she loves having me around. Part of why I started this company was to (eventually) spend a lot of time with her as she gets older. I remind myself of that whenever I get discouraged.
