Good luck and congrats. My little Grayson just turned 2 months and it's been nothing but a blessing. It's an amazing thing.
CONgrats man. Not a father, (would have to talk to a girl for that) but I do have a dog. He ate my shoes. So my advice, hide your shoes from your baby.
Just lol and lol and lol and lol and lol and lol
Love hat you have never felt before, different from loving mom or dad. A feeling that you would literally die to keep another human safe
Congrats Ipsy. It will change your life. You’ve never loved something so much so fast in all your life. Gender seriously doesn’t matter.
It’s like a headache at times as you watch them grow from the kid jumping in the boat to the kid dating his first girl. You’ll never be the same.
Enjoy and cherish every age and every moment. They grow up way to fast. Congratulations!
It destroys your life completely. You’ll be exhausted all the time. You will search, often in vain, for even an hour a week to yourself. Your life is over.
You’ll also love them more than you can imagine.

It is amazing how much pride you take in their accomplishments. More happy for them than you would be if you did the same thing. Life changing. Treasure the time because now it flys.
As a former teacher of juniors and seniors in high school - most of them turn out to be really cool humans eventually. So when the day comes that you can't stand that kid, know that he/she will be someone worth having a relationship with, some day (most likely).

You will find yourself in the bathroom with the door locked just to get a minute to yourself.
Patience. He or she will stop knowing more than you do in about twenty years.

Congrats my friend. You have taken some heat on this board but handled it like an all around good guy. I am sure you will make a great dad.
Upgrade your phone and take lots of videos. Then screen shot the paused parts for the best pictures.
Congratulations Ipsy!! patience is the key word,and as Show said "gender does not matter",this child will change your life
You get to take fun photos like this one of my little Grayson
3 pieces of advice:
1. Cover him as soon as you take the diaper off so you don't get sprayed.
2. Don't be afraid to say no to TV, computer games and cell phones. It will pay off in the long run.
3. Don't try to live through him on the sports field/court. Years later you'll look back and be embarrassed at yourself. Talking as one who's been there.
But it's one of life's blessings for sure.

First few months will be tough but it gets much better. When they get older and into sports make sure you enjoy it. I see so many people complaining all the time instead of loving the moments.
Congrats....there’s nothing any of us can say to even remotely prepare you for what’s ahead. Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares.
