congrats capt!...
yeah my advise is log OFF the RX and get some sleep...im fact sleep for at least 24 hrs straight...when that baby is Born KISS your SLEEP goodbye....and the irony is ...when the kid gets older and he can sleep later YOU are so used to NO sleep you can not :toast: trust me BEEN there done that
This is SO true. Can't nap anymore even when there is time, and for the first three years, one ear was always trained on my daughter at night. Agree with King too, if you don't have a digital camera, get one!
If you have any "projects" you were hoping to get done in your lifetime like painting the house, DO THEM NOW. Don't think for a minute you're ever gonna have a better time to do them than right now. Everything takes 10 times longer when you have a kid.
It's the best and hardest thing you will ever do, by far on both accounts.
And the best piece of advice I got, the one thing I try to hang onto when my brain and body are so shot that I can only remember one thing is to always let your eyes light up when your kid comes in the room. That will go a long way in a kid's heart and do wonders for their self-esteem. They can live through and forgive a LOT of your mistakes if they know your heart jumps when you see them.
Good luck with the delivery. Oh and one other thing. If your wife nurses, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS get her a glass of ice water when she starts to feed the baby. She won't think of it before she starts, cause she's focused on the baby. And there is absolutely no thirstier moment in a person's life; you will get MAJOR bonus points for doing this one little thing consistently and you'll make a physically and emotionally demanding job easier for her.
Congrats!
