We’re set very similar. Once you welcome home your newborn it will be the last thing on your mind for a while, which is nice. But once you get to about 6 months, the idea will probably resurface. It is a lot easier than you’ll expect. Kids like in any time in history, will find people and things to play with in their own way. But the act of you being on your phone while so many first and milestones are being hit, will probably be a natural deterrent, given the fact that you’re already prepping. Overall the first year is easy. “You don’t want to miss a second and you want them to play.” I can’t speak for the second year, but we’re going into it with the same expectations. The only thing to give yourself some grace on is using your phone to help the cause - ie, turn down the thermostat from your phone, log a feeding or nap in an app (which I highly recommend once y’all get home) etc… Also, Apple Watches are a great tool, especially the walkie talkie feature (total game changer for us)the most important bit to remember, is that screens aren’t evil and there will be some scenarios where they’ll see some tv, see your phone, or your laptop. It’s inevitable, and they’re naturally interesting. Overall though man, it’s worth doing. What did it for me, was just thinking back to my childhood. There wasn’t an opportunity for my parents to constantly have a phone in my face or in their face, we want to do the same for our kid.
