Do NOT STRESS
As you embark on the journey of fatherhood, it's important to remember that there is no manual on how to be a dad. It's a learning process, and it's okay to take your time and learn as you go. Don't stress yourself out trying to be the perfect dad. Instead, focus on taking it one step at a time and enjoying this beautiful journey.
Remember to take a deep breath and have patience with yourself as you navigate this new role. No one expects you to have all the answers right away. It's okay to make mistakes and learn from them. Take the time to bond with your child, be present in the moment, and cherish every milestone, big or small. Your child will grow up fast, and you don't want to miss a moment. So, fellow dads, take a deep breath, take it one step at a time, and enjoy the ride. You got this!

Preparation
As an expectant father, there are many things to prepare for, from supporting your pregnant partner to getting your house ready for the new arrival, all while balancing your work and personal life. While it's true that plans can fall through, having a solid outline of what needs to be done can help you stay on track.
Take the time to educate yourself about the pregnancy process and what to expect during childbirth. This will not only help you better support your partner, but it will also alleviate any anxiety you may have about the unknown.
Preparing your home for a new baby can also feel overwhelming, but breaking it down into smaller tasks and setting realistic goals can make it more enjoyable and manageable. And don't forget to take care of yourself along the way, whether that means delegating tasks to others or taking time for self-care.
Remember, every journey to fatherhood is unique, and it's okay if things don't go exactly as planned. The most important thing is to be present, supportive, and adaptable as you prepare for the arrival of your new little one.
