Congratulations to 
Having children is such a magical experience and not one you can truly appreciate until you have gone through the experience yourself. For my my life with my partner I always wondered how I would be as a dad and how I would cope. It's hard, it's really hard. Especially the first 12 months but like all things the first 12 months blows past like nothing and the next thing you know you have a 4 year old throwing a temper tantrum because of something so trivial.
The sleepless nights are hard, right now my son is teething and he is not coping well and as I write this he is in my arms screaming and can't be consoled. It has been 4 hours and I have lost more hair, but this too will pass.
There is alot of advise and you will hear alot of things including old tales of what to do and how to handle things but my greatest advise to you is find your own grove
Every child is different and what worked with lil miss hasn't worked with lil bloke. I've had to apply a different form of parenting and much of it made up on the go.
Sleep is another issue, my advise is sleep when you get the chance too. This might not always be a possibility due to work and life commitments but nap when you can like when the baby sleeps. I've found this to be a life saver. Naps are underrated in my opinion.
Food! Get onto that early, I make all my own baby food from meals I am preparing this way my children have grown up eating the foods we eat and develop their taste buds for the food our household enjoys.
Food is another core component to a functional family in my opinion, being able to come together to enjoy a meal each day helps build a strong, united family and build memories.
There will be times where you will feel lost, confused and hoping the issue you are experiencing end, keep a calm and level mind and try to think happy thoughts. All things pass even the sleep deprivation. I still remember the first time after an entire year that my daughter slept through an entire night. It was a weekend and I awoke on a Saturday at 10am after a whole year of sleep deprivation I felt refreshed.
I also immediately felt anxious and something had happened to my daughter but she was fine, still sleeping.
From one dad to another fist pump well done and congratulations being a parent is an awesome achievement and now you have a life long best friend that will make each day worth living more than previously.
I always wish I had become a dad sooner and don't know what I was waiting for or why I was even scared!
Happy parenting ❤
