When you talk to people who have kids from now on about how hard having kids is, they’ll immediately tell you “oh, well you just wait until they get old enough to walk.” Then once they start walking it will be “oh well you just wait until they get in their teens.” Then when they’re in their teens it will be “just wait until they’re in college and they’re sucking you dry of money.”
I don’t have kids but I hear people do this shite all the time to others.

Help the wife as much as possible.
Stick to a schedule, it will work.
Punch everyone who says "just wait until.." in the jaw.

This happens much sooner in life than in college, especially if you have traveling ball boys, like Jayden and Jaxon. Girls are no different either, these lady dance owners have figured out how to make dance very competitive ... and costly too.
And if you live in Baton Rouge, don't forget about the cost of private school.

First 3 weeks are fricking BRUTAL. Nobody is sleeping and you're both trying to figure out how to handle this massive shift in your lives. You will argue and bitch. Just stay patient. I have memories of throwing binkies across the room because I was getting so frustrated while mine learned how to sleep. After 3-4 weeks you should start getting 4 hour chunks of sleep and it's much more reasonable.
After that it comes pretty naturally. Just trust your instincts. You'll be learning as you go but it's pretty hard to mess up really badly if you love the kid.

Start saving money.
My daughter's first complete sentence. "Daddy, I want..." Followed up by, "Daddy, I have to have..." Which came before, "Dad, I must get....everyone has one but me..."
Then comes driving, "Dad, I want a Mustang..."
...and the list goes

Congrats on the sekts.
I can't believe I am the first to tell you this.

You're in for a long, hard, frustrating at times road but it also will be the best thing you ever did. Different people will have different opinions but I can say for myself hearing my little girls say goodnight daddy will always be the sweetest thing to ever happen to me.
The flip side is enjoy it when they are little, eventually they will grow up and you will find yourself pretty low on their list of people to hang out with.

Don't let them sleep in your bed. Ever.
Stick to a weekly schedule. If it's bedtime at 730, it's bedtime at 730.
Always bring extra clothes and diapers.
Help Mom out as much as possible. It'll save you headaches later.
Don't always be the one outside hanging out at others house's while she's inside with the baby. Let her have a turn too.
Take lots of pics and videos.
Give lots of hugs and kisses. Tell them you love them and are proud of them when they show you something they made.
Enjoy it! It goes by very fast and they change just as fast.
Bonus: Don't waste money on shoes when they can't even walk yet. And once they can walk, buy pair that fit and another pair one size larger.

Blessed Friend,
Baptism, I prefer in the first six months. I’m not entirely opposed to baptism as a symbol of forgiveness and confirmation as the Baptists do it. However, grace is always free and comes before us, our faith, and our actions. That is my main argument for infant baptism, as well as Tradition.
Lead by example. If you don’t show them a life of prayer, involvement in a faith community, almsgiving, and service to others, don’t put those expectations on the child. Deepen your relationship with God and your faith community now, for both your sakes.
Don’t drink alcohol or smoke. Use clean, loving language. Don’t withhold love. Be a teacher, a leader, slow to anger, and always ready to forgive. Teach her good manners, including appropriate dress, speech, and table etiquette.
Celebrate each day with your child. Pray with her daily. Eat one meal together. Don’t watch too much TV or spend more than 30 minutes in front of a screen daily.
Show her life is more than an accumulation of goods and preparation for retirement. Teach her to invest her talents. Teach her the importance of teamwork, discipline, and sacrifice. Involve her with an athletic team and have her learn an instrument before school begins. Don’t waste time on college and professional sports.
Love her as Christ loves all of us.
Faith, Hope, and Love,
TulaneLSU

My daughter will be 20 this April (yep no pics you pervs) and it is hard to believe how fast those years have flown by. As a few have mentioned just enjoy the ride as it will all be over in a flash. I am convinced though that men who have daughters are being punished for things they did as young men. When your daughter becomes teenager and the boys start sniffing around your house you will understand this with great clarity.
