Did your husband change for better or worse after you had a baby?

Personally, I found that my husband started acting more mature. He picked up the daddy role very quickly and started pitching in right away with diaper duty and baby care. And, during that time I was so thankful for the help! And, our communication got better too. We actually spent time alone together, just talking. And, some mornings, I'd wake up still exhausted, and find a perfectly clean kitchen waiting for me. Later he'd confide that he had a few spare moments and wanted to help out. Who was I too complain? Since then, we've fallen more into the traditional mom and dad roles, but he's still the best baby-sitter on the planet. And, a really fun person to be around. It's like having a brand new man around since the baby was born. But, I know that not all men make the transition into fatherhood so gracefully. Did your spouse or partner instantly become the perfect father figure, or did it take him awhile to adjust to his new role? Do you find that he pays more attention to you now than before the baby came along? Or, less?
