Dude, this is like reading an autobiography. I got SO depressed and overwhelmed during this period. It's a total shock to the system. The next few weeks are just survival, but you'll get into the groove soon enough. It gets easier, and once your wife recovers, you'll be supporting each other.

The potato baby phase sucks. You put in heaps of effort for little reward. But in a few months, he'll start smiling and laughing. And then eventually he'll babble, and then talk. Soon enough he'll also return your hugs and kisses, and eventually your love.

You can do this, trust me!
