Another thing: don't feel bad if you don't have the 'magic moment' of instantly falling in love with your kid when you first see them like you've heard about. Both my wife and I talked about it months later how we didn't have that right away and both felt guilty/weird about it but didn't want to say anything.
You might, but it's not crazy if you don't. They're a human, you're a human -- relationships take time. Especially for the dad who has been basically an observer of the whole thing and suddenly you're just holding this baby.
Just asked my wife and her general advice was: "it's easy if your wife isn't crazy." So there's that, haha.
