Just resist the urge to act like you and your bride just gave birth to the first human baby EVER! No need to photograph and post every waking (or sleeping) moment on Facebook or otherwise make your friends think "WTF?" Grandparents are different, of course…they live for that shit.
Onesies ARE the answer for everything…that's why we like flight suits.
And…just in case you've been wondering and have been hesitant to ask…you should stop having sex with your wife when the contractions are 5 minutes apart. That's just being a gentleman.
Congrats. Your life is going to change forever…but it's fucking great. Nothing like being a Dad.
True story: When I was an Ensign on my first cruise, and we loaded kids onboard CORAL SEA for the Tiger Cruise from Pearl to Alameda, I was the assigned "muster officer" for one of our squadron's Tigers…a little "round mound of sound" named Mikey. ROLEX ahead 16 years when I was XO of my squadron and loaded my two sons onboard for the same gig…and "little Mikey"…now a JO in my squadron…had the same duty for MY two sons. Weird…but cool.
