So, are you ready for the biggest change in your life?  You are a new dad, or about to become a new dad.  It is exciting, joyful, and sometimes a little scary, but the rewards are endless.  The best advice - just relax and enjoy your family.  And in the meantime, here are some thoughts that may give you some ideas:

1. •relax - putting undo pressure on yourself will just get in the way of being a good dad
   

2. •take your time - you and your baby have a lot of learning to do
   

3. •pay attention to mom - she is going through some amazing changes and needs your support, understanding, and care
   

4. •learn everything about your baby you can - from your baby.  Watch for the cues that show when she is hungry, tired, happy, or needs a diaper changed.
