hmm advice for the new dad...

everyone is going to want to come see baby first few days, we had a blackout period for those days so we could figure some things out. Your life just drastically changed and nothing is ever going to be the same again, it's not unreasonable to request that people allow you a few days to figure your new life out before putting their own desire to see YOUR new addition to YOUR family.

There will be times when you think to yourself "what am I doing wrong?"

The answer to that question is nothing, absolutely nothing. Every little person is different and the sooner you come to terms with that that quicker you stop reading every book out there how to raise your child and listening to everyone's advice (there will be tons of that with what you are doing wrong).

1 last thing...share your love with your newborn and your wife because you will never feel the love that you feel when you meet that little bundle of joy for the first time. It's so awesome!
