The most vulnerable I ever felt was that first drive home from the hospital with my little girl.

Yep. I felt like some kind of idiot trying to put her into the car seat correctly since I didn't want to do something wrong. I had also never changed a diaper before that day either.

As others have probably mentioned, love your child and wife unconditionally and help out all that you can. I was lucky enough that my wife let me sleep in another bedroom for the few few weeks. I would sometimes take a shift feeding at night so the wife could get a little extra sleep though.
