This is my first father's day as a father.

It isn't easy, I have been struggling immensely (plug: I wrote about it at https://asukawang.com/blog/leap-of-faith ), but now she's seven months old and it has been a lot better.

I look forward to all the things I could do for her. A home-made jukebox with NFC tags on cassettes I once saw on HN really interests me, but I reckon a 3D printer would be necessary or at least very handy and there's not a lot of room left in my house. Also I prefer a non-bambu lab option (such as Prusa) but the price gap is kind of significant. Still have time to figure this out I guess.

I also struggled immensely in the early days.

For me there was no turning point. Just a realisation one day that the good was outweighing the bad, and it had been for a while.

Look forward to the things you can do for her today, and then do them! My baby used to love an evening walk in a front-facing carrier. We'd watch the sun set, the street lights come on, and the headlights of the cars driving by. She'd wiggle in the carrier with unbridled excitement.

That's beautiful! Thank you. I also reckon there probably won't be a "that day". Just a lot of small things and one day maybe I'll look back and think it's not that bad.

I’ve also got two 7 month olds! It really is beyond any struggle I could have pictured. You got this!!!

Congrats! I'm celebrating my 10th now and my son was a hard sleeper until about 7 months. For me, it's just gotten better and better.
