I can't count how many dads have warned me about sleepless nights once the baby arrives. This is because the couple needs to take turns waking up to feed the baby or look after the baby since they don't sleep straight like us.
What I didn't know was those sleepless moments would start even before the baby comes out :)
Why? Well, as I mentioned the other time in one of my posts, our wives would feel intense pain in their lower backs and as the weeks go by nearing full term, it would somehow get worse before it gets better. So as I mentioned before, remember to give them some good ol' massage to relieve the pain. So lately it's either I sleep later from the time I lie down because she'd ask for a massage, or she'll wake you up in the middle of the night (or in the middle of deep sleep hehe) to ask for a massage because of the pain.
I work at home and am fortunate to at least have my own schedule so I could just imagine how it is for the great dads out there who need to wake up really early to beat rush hour traffic. PROPS TO YOU! Seriously. Coz personally, I get cranky when I lack sleep so I really tip my hat to you guys... claps even!
So there! From one dad to another. At least I was that one dad who told you that the sleepless nights begin BEFORE the baby comes out :)

PS. I'm excited to see the baby already!
