re: Baby due next summer. Any tips or knowledge that can be passed on?

Bring a pillow and blankets to the hospital...they say bring snacks, but trips to the vending machine kept me sane. Probably most important advice i can give looking bsck....set HARD CLEAR boundaries with family members about the day of and days preceeding the delivery. This day is about your wife and yalls new family....frick everyone/everything else.

Afterwards will be the most exhausting and frustrating thing you've ever done....and at the same time indescribably amazing. Congrats and all the best!
