"Zombie Life" is a tongue-in-cheek way to describe what many new fathers experience during the first few weeks (or months!) of caring for a newborn baby.
It’s that bleary-eyed, coffee-fueled, half-awake state where:
You're surviving on 2-hour naps and baby cries at 3 a.m.
You forget when you last showered... or ate a full meal.
You're rocking a baby in your arms while Googling “why won’t my newborn sleep?”
You respond to every noise like a Navy SEAL... and somehow still miss the diaper blowout.
But here’s the truth behind the humor: “Zombie Life” is the badge of honor for dads who are showing up. It’s the sacrifice, the late-night bottle feeds, the lullabies off-key at 2 a.m., and the love that keeps you going even when your tank feels empty.
