Re: First Time Fatherhood
Ruhskins & Over The Mountain: Excellent advice, guys! Much appreciated! I like the idea of the daddy book-bag! I'm already looking into things that will make it as hands-free as possible. Such as the thingy to strap the baby to you so you're not pushing him/her in the stroller all the time or carrying him/her. The sleep thing I'm sort of worried about. I can make it on five hours of sleep, but any less than that and I'm just a puddle of mud, lol! I know I'll adjust, but that part is going to be interesting. I'm going to try to take some time off in the beginning, because I think dads need some type of maternity leave like the moms do! I probably could take a month off, but maybe if I could at least take a couple weeks off in the beginning, that would help!
We have already gotten some clothes donations, and I have a feeling we won't have to buy many clothes for the baby. We're also blessed in that my brother and siter-in-law have four kids - all ranging from 10 down to 3 or 4, so we might be able to get their hand-me-downs! How did you guys handle the mood factor with your wives? My wife's emotions have been all over the place! I've learned to pick my battles, hahaha!!!

After the baby was born, she did have a couple of crying episodes. I would say avoid any conflicts, help her out as much as possible, and just be ready for the emotional episodes to happen.
