I am married to a great dad. Change diapers and help with feeding, then your baby will know from the start that she can trust both parents to meet her basic needs. Also new moms need to see that dad is as capable of caring for baby as she is, it makes it alot easier for her to take the much needed time for herself, if she knows dad can handle the job on his own.
And when you have to start putting all of that baby furniture and other various pieces of equipment together...Read The Directions.
Congratulation on your daughter daddy.

Hi Congrats.
According to me you need to spend as much time you can with your wife now a days and try to keep her happy all the time of course you must be taking good care of her. It is really a very good feeling to be a parent of a child. When you will have your baby with you, make sure that the place where your baby will be there should be HYGENIC, as babys are very sensitive to the enviornment. Then plan for the baby's future and make sure that your wife eats well and healthy food as it has direct impact on the baby. All the best and congrats once again.

Congratulations first in becoming a parent. You are entering a world of joy and worry. My two sons are 25 and 23 and beleive me i have had my ups and downs with then but they are the most important people in my life. You never stop being a parent from the day they were born until the day you die. You will go through lifes stages with your daughter.you will have many good times and some tough times with her. I am not putting a downer on being a parent because it is the most wonderful thing i have ever done and very satisfactory and i have always been there for them.
You have this little person in your care and until she is an adult you are responsible for her.
Simply just be there for her in everything she does and have an interest in what she does. As she grows up in the stages of her life be there for her. Her first day at school. Her first day at comprehensive. and her school prom.
Love her unconditionally hold when she is sad and when she is happy.Be firm with her but also be fair and teach her to respect herself and others.
You do all this and you will have a daughter to be very proud of and inturn she will love you for it. All my love to you and your family
