I know it gets better but doesn't make the last 9 months and the next however many months any easier.

LOL. The first year is a fucking nightmare but once he's walking and more mobile, it's so much easier. First year is for the moms, we take over from there. My 3yo daughter is my weekend companion while my son (15mo) is clung to my wife. We go everywhere together and it's a blast. It's really frustrating until they can communicate effectively. Until then it is tough.
Remember, right now it's 2-on-1. Wait until it's man-to-man. Even more crazy is zone defense but usually you have an older sibling (read: assistant) who can toss you a diaper when you're in the shit.
