I don't know if this sounds a little hokey/cheesey, but ever since our son was born, I feel like a new part of me has been "born." Yes, I've had to give up some free time, some freedom, and all that (I've had to sorta "die to myself" in some sense), but the new life as a dad is so worth it. I can relate to TwinCadets2030 on that one.
Secondarily, I've noticed that I've become more productive in all other areas in my life. Since I know I could be home playing with the little guy, I find myself trying to work smarter/harder with all the other responsibilities I've got. Getting things done well and swiftly, so that I can get home and enjoy these precious first few years of his life.
i've changed, too
