00:22in her fussy newborn stage. So I take her on lots of walks. You know, I go out like

00:27often in the middle of the night, like all times of the day and like multiple times a day. It's kind

00:33of like our routine, like to give my wife some rest. I did look some disheveled to some degree,

00:39like one of my slippers does have a hole in it. And I'm an artist. So most of my clothes have like

00:45paint splatters and tears. I'm just focused on my baby and trying to comfort her, not what I look
