if you haven't had the experience of kids, be prepared to have your life turned upside down

you can't plan anything and don't even bother trying to get back to normal

enjoy it while it lasts because as soon as you start to think it's a burden on your life things start to get on top of you

i look forward to every morning and every evening just so i can have fun with junior and no matter how much he tantrums, he's still just as cute as he was when he was a baby

invest in some decent car seats/pushchair/baby stuff so it won't break/wear out and don't bother getting loads of fancy clothes, they last about 2 weeks and then they grow out of them
