Sure it's different but I won't lie and say its all unicorns and rainbows. I get frustrated, tired but its part of it and seeing its your child, you accept it and grow.

i sure hope so. i nanny for my 3-month old nephew a few days a month, and some days i think "i cannot get up this early every day with a baby!"... so selfish, i know!

You will also know your own child a lot better so that makes it easier. The more you know about the child, the better equipped you are about how to deal with them when something happens. But you'll still be tired and sometimes frustrated .... don't think that goes away with your own child.

I was surprised by how much easier/happier/more fulfilling parenthood has been than what I thought pre-baby. Absolutely it's exhausting and frustrating and difficult, but as a parent you get all these little hidden gems of moments that more than make up for the difficult times. Other people don't get to experience sleepy snuggles and sloppy kisses like parents do, and I think those little moments make it easier to handle the tantrum-throwing, crying/whining monster moments.
