Anytime now I will become a father. My wife was due last saturday.
Don't know if boy or girl, just hope its healthy.
Any fathers out there want to share any advice!

be like the father you would want when you were a kid. i'm not a dad, but that's how i'm going to treat it when the time comes.
congrats!

good advice force, thanks.

wicked! congrats man. one of my good friends just had his 2nd the other night, he's stoked.
from my experience with a lot of 'new dad' friends there's no advice anyone can give. every little parasite is totally different. do what you think is right and strap in for no-sleep for the next year and no-money for the next 20-30!!! all the best for the birth!
- Chip0
Thanks!
I'm so nervous! I need encouraging!

Yeah, the advice is hard to give as every baby is different. All I can say is in your spare time, sleep sleep sleep. You're gonna miss that sleep like never before. As far as taking care of the child, that stuff will come naturally. It's scary at first, but you will learn as you go with many things. Ask the doctors tons of questions as most of them do not volunteer info outside of what that particular checkup exam may be for.
Congratulations on your exciting day any time soon.

I'd suggest you be there for your kid no matter what. Forgive easily (you don' have to forget, hehe) and listen to him/her.

Its going to be a learning experience all the way!What am I going to do with this little human when I get home?! There's no manual to read!

best wishes to you
You'll be pulling double duty for awhile and your needs will come last. Your baby will need a ton of attention and your wife will likely need some recovery time.
Ask lots of questions. Lots of baby books try to scare you, take their advice with a grain of salt.
Learn how to swaddle your baby, always put him/her to sleep on his/her back, and don't use a hand-me-down mattress or sheets.
You'll learn sleep-deprivation like never before, but it is more than worth it.

I'm hearing you on the Baby books Arthur, they all seem to scare me.
Too much to remember.
I'm going to do it my way I think. I hope!
Cheers!

spank the little bastard right after they cut the cord. I hear this will make sure he know's who wears the freaking pants in the family.
- arthur0
Much of it will just come naturally.
Become friends with your pediatrician. No question is too small.
- Chip0
Thanks arthur, by the way, I love your work.
Fantastic stuff.
- son0
dont listen to anyone, listen to you your child and your wife
and God first if you believe in Him.

- arthur0
Thx.
My son is 2.5 now and he's the greatest ever. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
- iDp0
Son it actually kinda scares me that you have a kid. I'll bet he's your pride and joy though. That's cool. I'm looking forward to having one someday too. Congrats Chipper!

Thanks dude!
