My baby boy is due on the 22nd of this month (june) and im pretty nervous. I cant wait for him to get here and i dont know what to expect as this is my first.

If you can point anything out that can give me warning that be great!

Well, let me be the first to say congratulations, I'm not a father yet, so I really can't give you any warnings, but goodluck.

A minimum of three months of not sleeping well (pray for a well-behaved baby), getting up to feed the baby, burp him, and so on.

Driaper changes. Here, the same as I maintain a baby is a blessing from Heaven, those driapers are a curse from God knows were.... not even the finest gas mask can hide the smell (I have two kids, been there and done that)
but still, just being a dad is pure and absolute heaven. So enjoy it and don't hurry in seeing your newborn grow... time passes fast, my friend and, before you know, your baby will be your size and asking for tons of stuff (a car, a new cell phone, food, tons of food, braces, and so forth).

go for it, POPS!

Steve

thanks guys and i hardly get any sleep now so i think ill be ok and I was a well behaved baby so hopefully that wares off but i doubt it.

you dont? no wonder u are so hyper
in any case, stop worrying so much. your baby will be fine, your girl will be fine and you will be fine and come out of this wonderful fatherhood still a better man than you are now.

ps... be sure to practice your "coochie coochies" a lot. use them extensively with your baby boy and your bonding will be heavenly.

ps... i think i am gonna prep a mojito -palito style- and drink it on your baby's honor.

congrats Steve, it's not as hard as it seems really. Once you see that baby (i know everyone says it but it's true) it's like a switch clicks in your brain and you are just in dad mode.

for the diapers, just breathe thru your mouth when around dirty diapers, seriously, its the only way.....lol

This thread is gonna be "something... " lol...

Yap, the olde Dadda Mode, which can drive you totally daffy.

Better start loading up on newborn pampers (costco has very good deals) as a normal baby runs through about a dozen or more per 24 hours...

The smell... vile, puking, no other smel is worse than the one emanating from la caquita del nene... ay Dio! lotsa lysol, wet wipes, johnson and johnson baby oil, tearless shampoo, baby powder, soaps, some tubes of that zinc basedbay pomade for driaper rash prevention and cure. lots of bibs, la leche y dale...

And one day, when you least expect it, el chamaco te va a orinar en la cara y ni pa 'onde hacerte, jajajaja. Don't believe me? just wait. El te va a "bautizar" primero, don't even forget it!

Make sure to have a good digital still camera ready and nearby at all times. Same for a nice mini cam for video. Lotsa first day, first week, first month and fist year/first birthday photo ops.

Ohhhh, am I laughing or what?

Steve
