I'm where you were a while ago. We are having our first kid at the end of this year, and I have finally found a side project that aligns my passions and a potential market.
I'm scared of what's to come, knowing that I want to spend time with my kid while still being a good husband and making slow yet steady progress on my side project, all on top of having a full job. It feels overwhelming and I'm not even in it yet.

Everyone's got different needs, but you will find yours reprioritized for you once the baby becomes a reality. Step back down Maslow's pyramid to basics like sleep and survival of your family. And enjoy it—not much choice!
