You asked for family life balance comments. I am a retired grandfather (who at one time was a minority of one in a family with four teenage daughters). Rather than give my own words as advice I will paraphrase a psychologist/family counselor who raised a large family himself. He said: "When I got my PhD, I had no children and 7 theories on how to raise kids. Now I have 7 children, and no theories!" I guess what that means is "Buckle up. It's going to be an exciting ride. But just do you best, and don't forget to enjoy each moment as it passes.

How DO you balance a family and creative work? If you figure it out, let me know! 😆 Seriously though, don't expect to get significant work done for at least the first couple of months, and that is OKAY. Newborns are a lot, and learning how to be a parent is a lot. It will get so much easier! Having a supportive partner is key, communication is key, setting realistic expectations is key, and accepting and embracing the mess (though not easy) can be super helpful. You got this!
