Sleep now because it won’t be great for a while. They are totally worth it. Just help as much as you can

Had an old coach in high school, he was like 62. We found out that his wife was 27 and we gave him a hard time about it. He brushed it off saying" even old guns can still shoot".

Start buying the diapers now. They are expensive and will be more expensive later. Buy different sizes also.

Congrats.

Congrats . I vividly remember being scared shitless when I was in your shoes. I thought there was no way in hell I was ready to raise a child. But here I am 9 years later with a daughter and a son and both are great kids who have brought me more moments of awe and joy than I ever could've imagined.

The love for your children is a different love that one can only understand once you've experienced it.

First one. Think im stuck in shock. Just got married in September. Im happy just dont know what the hell im supposed to do.


Congrats sir.

Best thing in the world. People will give you all sorts of advice. (like im doing now haha) take it all with a grain of salt. Not that those people are always wrong or have bad intentions but you just gotta do what works for you, your wife, and your little one. All babies/families are different.

Nothing is set in stone. There is no one way to do anything. Just enjoy it. I have my third boy due in March, seems like we finally know what to expect....which means this one will run us for another loop im sure haha.

I always thought this was so condescending when people would say it and there may be some but it is so true.

When they hand you that baby for the first time you all of a sudden figure it out. The most natural experience ever.

Best thing that ever happened to me in my life, it's been a joy raising my son.

Mine started playing sports at 5 and is still going at 15 so ten years of baseball fields, basketball and football games

You can't beat it
