Congratulations!
One bit of practical advice....
To quote Douglas Adams, "Always know where your towel is". A small towel is an indespensible tool for a new father. Your newborn has an inborn talent for launching various toxic substances in your direction from every orifice in his tiny body. Having a towel nearby to drape over your shoulder when holding him, or to intercept a potential drenching when changing a diaper, will do wonders for your fragile, sleep-deprived psyche, not to mention preserving your wardrobe from anointing with various foul and obscene substances.
Enjoy the roller coaster ride!

Excellent advice. I sacrificed a couple of my favorite shirts before I learned that lesson.

I was worried that I was not going to be able to change diapers (poopy diapers). It doesn't take much for me to start gagging. But somehow, with my own child, it never was an issue. Although I still have to rely on her mother to deal with vomit.

Sound advice from Cyrano. When it came to changing diapers my husband had his own ritual: Before he opened the diaper he'd take three wipes out of the container in advance, whether he thought he'd need them or not. That habit saved him a big mess more than once, and if you end up not needing them they go back into the box easily enough.

Diapers are no problem for me. 14 nieces and nephews and my two brothers when they were babies so I'm well practiced. Already going through the sleep deprivation.
