Hey marina, I have not read through the other posts, but having a 5 month old at home - it is all very fresh.
We were very freaked out about everything from finances to pre natal tests to post-partum. We read every thing we could get our hands on - dont take one sources point of view, get many and figure out what is best for you.
It was amazing how much support we got financially from family and friends - the only thing we bought was a crib. thank jeebus for the baby shower and consignment stores.
One thing that changed for me pre-birth was going to "Daddy Boot Camp" it gave me confidence and I learned a ton of shit from other dads and got some hands on baby exerience. Dad's have a fear of not knowing what to do, get him confidence as soon as possible.
But when the baby comes all the pre-birth stress goes away and its amazing how adaptive we are. If you want some more detail and tips - send me an email.
:)
