Any advice and/or stories from early parenthood anyone wants to share would be appreciated!

Edit: just wanted to say I'm reading all the comments and appreciate everyone. The newborn is keeping me busy!

Always, always, always pack an extra change of clothes for EVERYONE! Babies are explosive and it doesn't matter if you think they're empty, even if you "know" they're empty, they will explode and it will get on anyone and anything within 5 feet.

Also, congratulations!!! It's an amazing experience. I was never the "I cannot believe I love someone so much now!", I was and will always be the "Oh no, this thing is going to break, it's too fragile!" Whatever you feel, it's appropriate.

Babies are like guns. Treat every baby as if it's loaded.
