Thanks - it's the second kid so I know about the sleep deprivation. I certainly plan to spend as much time as possible at home (especially right after birth to help out).
Having a kid will require you to learn all new things. Sure - they're not tech related, but it'll get your brain to work in ways it never has before, and perhaps give you a renewed focus about why you're working.
If it were me, I'd also be up-front with my wife about what I'm dealing with. You're bound to be sleep-deprived and at-times frustrated with the challenges of a newborn, and it'll help to make sure she's aware of your concerns. Good luck! Work will come and go, and I'm sure a short while from now, Angular will be considered old-news ... but having a kid is an awesome experience.
