Chapter 3 Sleepless nights

As the clock struck midnight, Alex found himself wide awake, cradling his crying infant in his arms. Sarah stirred in the background, her voice groggy with sleep. "You okay?" she murmured. "Yeah, I've got this," Alex whispered, trying to soothe the baby. The tiny hands grasped his finger, and he felt a surge of love and responsibility. The past few months had been a whirlwind of diaper changes, feedings, and endless questions. Alex had transformed from a carefree bachelor to a devoted father, learning to navigate the complexities of parenthood.

Sarah, too, had adapted, balancing work and motherhood with remarkable grace. As the baby's cries subsided, Alex gently rocked him back and forth, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. He gazed at Sarah, who was now sitting up in bed, her eyes fixed on him with a soft smile. "You know, I never thought I'd be this tired," she said, chuckling. "Me neither," Alex replied, smiling back. "But it's worth it, right?" Sarah nodded, and they shared a quiet moment of understanding. The baby's gentle snores filled the room, and Alex felt his heart swell with love for his little family. As the night wore on, Alex realized that parenthood wasn't just about providing for their child's physical needs; it was about creating a nurturing environment, filled with love, laughter, and adventure. And he was grateful to have Sarah by his side to embark on this journey
