    Peace brother.

    Just support the mother for now, make sure to stay close enough with her to actually be a real presence during your kids early years.

    When you find out the sex, thats a different but necessary conversation you should entertain with your brothers.

    Get your baby used to sleeping in their own room in their crib, and as early as possible get their ? on a good sleep schedule. I'm 24 so I'm at the age where 60-70 percent of my high school friends are having kids, too many horror stories of their kids/babies sleeping with the parents ruining sleeping arrangements, which could have an effect on your relationship.

    My fiancé and I have had my son in his own room since he was three months old. And he's been sleeping at 8:30-9, for a bout a year now (he's two) and it's the best part of our days. He's asleep in his room and me and wifey watch movies, talk, prepare for the next day. Lol


    In the first six months as the poster mentioned above, be prepared for sleepless nights, and don't put the burden on your lady to to do all of the night time bottles and soothing. I made a mistake the first two months of not helping at night and my fiancé broke down crying one night. After that we took turns.

    Also don't be buying expensive clothes for your baby, the occasional Jordan or nice outfit for a family gathering is okay but you'll realize babies grow way too quick to be dropping crazy money on them for everyday wear. Go to goodwill, or the consignment stores where you can get ? for dimes on the dollar.

    Mayne I got advice for days. Lol hit me up!

    Will do hermano

    Be there for the mother, stay calm n dont be afraid of making mistakes, its all not that serious or hard fam...brace yourself for the high possibility of everyone around you - inlaws/fam etc, your chick and yourself - becoming unrational/emotionally unstable and/? people you barely know/everybody and their madres giving you (unasked) advice...patience is a virtue, I wanted to slap the ? outta my father inlaw the first couple of weeks after my son was born for checking/doubting everything I did - and that ? missed the 1st year of both his kids so he didnt even know wtf he was talking about - but I showed restrained and might have been an overprotective bastard...? I still might be.

    Just remember the baby is yours, youre the boss, your own fam now and enjoy, nothing is greater than chilling with your baby...
