I'll try to keep it short and informative: 1. New person in your family will put a high stress test on your marriage/relationship. (this is backed also by my friends experience) 2. First days are a SHOCK and will make you CHANGE YOUR LIFE. You'll have to accept it: it's not about you anymore, it's about your child. 3. First 6 months will be very hard - I mean things like little sleep etc. Also, there is no way you can understand such a small child. And even worse, they are extremely endangered by even the most stupid illness as there are no meds for them (so protect it as much as you can). That may sound weak, but: 4. After 6 months you'll be much better :) 5. If you accept your situation, you'll probably make some improvements in how you spend your time (weaking up earlier and sleep 6 hours, eat better food, spend your free time productive, because it's so little, you really value it). 6. By spending time with your child, if you have a little empathy, you'll be able to mentally travel back to your childhood and look through its eyes on the the world. 7. You'll never forget this feeling, when you have it in your arms (or rather on your hands) for the 1st time. 8. It's hard to describe, but your child will be like for you like the water in the desert. 9. In the end, rising a child is the only thing in your life (besides love) that matters. There are no people that regret working not enough, but most of them regret spending not enough time with their family. All the best for you and your family :) From the time perspective, you'll see it's the best that happend to you :)
