So my son is now 2 weeks old. I thought having an infant would be fairly tough but I figured since my wife would be home and not working she'd primarily be taking care of the kids. I massively underestimated how difficult an infant is. I rely on sleep to function. The infant wakes up and cries every 2 hours. Stringing consistent sleep together has been tough. I also never realized how emotional women get after pregnancy. It's pretty brutal. They generally spazz out for no reason because their hormones are going nuts. Also, my wife is breast feeding but the kid won't suck on the nipple so she has to pump milk and then feed it to him in a bottle. that makes the whole process absurdly time consuming. Emotional wife with no sleep does not equal a calm happy house which I obviously prefer. I'm looking forward to when my kid sleeps through the night and my wife is no longer breast feeding. That will be a beautiful day.

On the poker front things are good. I played a couple sessions this past week and FTed the UB $129 buyin $20k guaranteed and also the UB $50 rebuy. I finished 6th or so in both so not the end result we wanted but I played great and it always feels good to FT. I plan to get more playing time in now and I'm sure I'll be making some decent runs. I've cut back on the number of players I manage and that's taken a lot of stress out of my life. Running a backing fund has been really time consuming and stressful. I took on too much and have run myself ragged working way more hours than any reasonable person can comfortably manage. A smaller fund is definitely much easier on me and is starting to make backing more fun again.
