Wife is due in less than two weeks. Baby girl. First time for this. I think I've only ever held a newborn once. Never changed a diaper. Haven't read any books. Wife and I will very likely get into disagreements frequently as we are both stubborn.
I'm pretty worried about my own health mentally and physically. I have persistent anxiety and am bad at sleeping which makes the anxiety worse. I spent a bunch of money decking out my bedroom and over the last week I finally got decent nights' sleeps for the first time in literal months so that's good but I'm horrible at falling asleep. Last night my husky had constipation and would wake me up crying/begging to go outside every two hours. I literally did not sleep the entire night.
Also my wife and I will be separating once the baby is old enough to not need 100% attention, we are both very stubborn people and will certainly get into heated disagreements.

By the way...if you have back pain that causes problems sleeping, I CANNOT RECOMMEND AN ADJUSTABLE MATTRESS BASE ENOUGH. It changed my life after two days. I tend to always second-guess purchases but not this. I have a condition called ankylosing spondylitis, basically my spine may potentially start to fuse together later in life, sometimes it flares up...past few months was worse than ever. Like clockwork, wake up at 3:30AM in intense pain; wait for pain to subside for two-three hours; re-set my alarm to five minutes before my first meeting; wake up in intense pain again. Sometimes so bad that I was dry heaving. I got mine on Amazon for $500.
