it's your time now just for you
To do things for your self.
With a new baby, you have a bad day now and again because you're particularly tired, but most of the time, you're fine.

Carrying The Beatles' or the Sixties' dream around all your life is like carrying the Second World War and Glenn Miller around. That's not to say you can't enjoy Glenn Miller or The Beatles, but to live in that dream is the twilight zone. It's not living now. It's an illusion.
