Now that I've been a dad for a little over a year, I have some advice for new & soon to be dads: Your wife is your number 1 priority. Her happiness, comfort, and peace should be protected at all costs. Her journey will be brutal. Do everything you can to be there for her as long as she needs you to be, and then some. Also be prepared to lose at least 30 IQ points. Lack of sleep + learning how to be a dad will eat you alive. I went from 20 IQ to -10, and I'm still here. So if I'm still here, you will be too. Good luck <3
