Congratulations and best wishes for a happy and healthy baby.
When you can find time, I recommend researching 529 college savings plans in your state.
Best of luck.

Get the book Babywise. Tremendous help and was the blueprint for getting all three of ours sleeping through the night as early as possible

Don’t be gay and post those pics of her laying on your bare chest. That’s fricking gay! When I see those it makes me want to slap the shite out of the dude.
And don’t put your child in daycare. Your wife is the one who should stay home and raise your child. Unless you want some stranger named Pa’chunka raising her.

I loved my daughter the day she was born. But really the love builds exponentially as bonding experiences good/bad accumulate. Late night rocking to sleep or feedings, those first little smiles, but the real connections come from the care you give, like changing diapers, taking care of her when she’s sick. Once I was connecting on her care, our connection blossomed into the greatest bond of my life. She’s 7 now and every day is better than the last.

Take care of the wife, enjoy every minute and get the baby on a schedule

Big congrats AZ. Yes sir you are correct. When my first was born it was at that moment that I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that that was someone I'd take a bullet for. Without hesitation.

Wow. Congratulations!
Enjoy every precious moment. They grow up fast.

Any OT advice on the first few weeks of fatherhood is greatly appreciate
Just be fully present for mother and child. It is draining but it is only temporary. Manage the grandparent situation too. We had to tell them to gtfo after a few days at home and no privacy with the first kid

We ran shift work Worked pretty well.

When my wife became pregnant and older guy at work told me:
"One day you will look back and wonder what you ever did before children".
He was 100% correct and it's the most fulfilling thing in life, nothing prior can compare.

Do not get up with them in the middle of the night for every little peep. You won’t sleep for a year (I did this with my first). With number two….she was sleeping through the night 11-6 after the first week…..it’s ok to cry some. They are smart af, and will learn quickly to take advantage

Congrats man
68 at a high school graduation though, I can't even begin to imagine. But you'll have a blast any which way.

Having said that…. Any OT advice on the first few weeks of fatherhood is greatly appreciated
Baby bumping around screaming looking for a nipple & of course you don't have one to give while heating up food.
Give baby end of your nose until food ready. Special bond will ensue, crying will stop. My early AM bliss happened by accident. I had the AM feeding detail. Baby just happened to latch on when I was trying to calm her down.
After that early am crying baby would be picked up from crib, onto nose. No shrieking baby walk to kitchen, quiet baby until food was ready.
CONGRATULATIONS DAD!

Oh man I thought I had it bad with a newborn at 35. How ya sleeping chief?

It’s cliche as hell but enjoy every little moment because you’ll blink and she’s 10. You’ll blink again and she’s 18 and off to college.
I have two little girls that still run to the front door when i get home from work. Literally the best part of my day.

You will know agape love.

Had my little girl about 2 weeks before I turned 40. First baby for me too.
If you didn't do as much inside housework before, step up there. That'll help your wife. Doona stroller for the 1st year is awesome.
I'll try and remember to update this later and post some of the products that have helped us out.
