According to my mum, I used to sleep through from 7pm to 7am by the time I was 6 weeks old, so I can only hope my child will take after me!

I was 33. I had five younger siblings, and was used to having babies around, changing diapers, all that.
I suspect the changes in your relationship with your wife/partner will be the hardest thing to deal with, especially if she takes time off from work to be a stay at home mom. Give her lots of support, attention and make sure she has pocket money.
41 for the first and 44 for the second (but I feel so much older). They are now 4 and 1 respectively. It's exhausting. Forget about sleep (you don't need as much as you think you do). However, when you get up groggy in the black of night, trudge on in to the baby's room and lay eyes on that beautiful, screaming little person, you'll realize that there's no place you would rather be, then nothing will be more important to you that making that baby feel safe, warm and loved.
Congratulations. Now quick, go get some rest while you still can.
