+1 to all great tips that have been mentioned. I'll also say that don't feel guilty if you don't immediately fall in love with your kid at first sight. It took me a several months before it really kicked in. My first thoughts when I saw my daughter were fear that I was going to break her somehow!
Now, it's total mushy love for her, and my favorite times are when she comes running to me with a big hug. (she's 17 months now)
Oh and get a wireless webcam for the baby's room. I got this sucker off of Ebay and it's awesome. (night vision, pan tilt, wifi) And there are iOS apps for it too. Google for reviews
