The sleep issue with the one area I felt entirely unprepared for. I know it's not much of a 'choice', but if its at all possible get quality sleep before the delivery.
Get on the same page about how you're going to deal with the sleep situation, for you guys and the child, and accept that it could change hour to hour. Also remember that people are really not themselves when sleep deprived, including you.
Fatherhood has been awesome, and while everything is more 'work', its so wonderful. But man, the sleep really hit hard...and my wife is the one who usually gets ups.
