Congrats, Daddy!! A few good tips and resources... (as if you haven't heard enough outside tips already, sheesh!)
First and foremost, flexibility is essential to survival. Particularly regarding planning the birth process, don't become adamant about sticking to a plan. Your plan WILL change, and possibly be tossed out completely. The less attached you are to your preconceptions, the less you will be disappointed.
I can't stress that enough! If you only take away one tip from this, it's this: If you make up your mind ahead of time about most kid-related decisions, you'll be sorry!
When it comes to caring for your newborn, it's all about trial-and-error.
