Saw Bullet Train and absolutely loved it. It is either amazing or I am squarely the target audience.

I didn't know you decamped from the DMV area.
Solid plan. Lil 10 year old yard dog will be creating his own playbook in Madden 2033(Mahomes on the cover) and just whooping up on 40 year old losers who play every once in a while.It's never too early to start mapping out a supplement/strength training program for your youngster.
I'd probably hold off on the PED's until they are 16 and have found the sport they are best at (hopefully football at Kansas State U).
I've been dreaming of this in particular for years - and is one reason I have considered homeschooling. 4 hours of school and 4 hours of training a day.
I think I'll start with the "indoctrination phase" and work up to the physical aspects. As we all know - the game is only 20% skill.
Yard dog "how was school today son?"
Lil yard dog "I did some fractions in the morning then created an offense based off Mox's Oopty Oop playbook and won 4 straight games online. Gotta log off now and get my basic body weight training in. Say dad, could you mix me a protein shake?"
(Tear rolls down yard dogs cheek) "sure thing son. Maybe after you're done with that we can watch your favorite Avery Johnson highlight video?"
You've just described "the dream". I have been told to not get too set on one specific future though so if he decides to do something dumb, like get an art degree like his dad, I don't feel "constant disappointment" and a "deep desire to disown him".
Dang. I assume these are your father's words?
You’re going to feel like a crazy person and all depressed and stressed from time to time. Due mostly to the drastic interruption to your sleep schedule and general life schedule. You’ll adjust quickly. Keep your head up, keep chopping wood, etc. It’s easy after a while.
To that point and someone else’s about asking for help, when it gets tough, it’s okay to walk away from a crying baby to gather yourself. Take a few deep breaths and enjoy the ride!

PM if you are really looking into one (if in the KC metro).You're going to be tempted or your wife to buy a bunch of overpriced crap that you either won't use ever or seldom do. Do not do that.
We just started looking in the secondary market for a Snoo. I don't think the kid needs crazy overpriced "activities" but I am intrigued to spend money on the things that help protect our sanity.

Have another one as soon as you can
If you are going have more than one, this is sound advice. I will be south of 50 when our last of three is graduating from high school. My uncle was 55 when my youngest cousin was born. At this point in my life, that sounds horrific.
These people have no idea what they are talking about. I mean sure, if you want to have another kid, have at it, but spread it out a bit. All of the dumbasses that say "it will be great to get it all over at once" are giant huge dumbasses. Trust me.
I'm guessing I'm the oldest person who had a kid. I love my son but my guy XT is absolutely right. If you can help it, I'd strongly advise against having children when you are in your mid 40s, for several reasons.
The kingsize bed comment reminds me. Don't have them sleep with you unless you like the idea of a 7 year old still sleeping in your bed and you never getting to bone ever again.This is false.
It's not a personal experience of mine, but several of my friends are currently going through this.
Use a co-sleeper, absolutely the best thing we did with each monster in our herd.

Do not ever have your infant sleep in your bed unless you love smothering your own baby.

Yeah, i'm sure it depends, but I rarely ever let my kids sleep in my bed. I've heard stories about kids constantly coming down trying to get in bed with their parents and eff that. If something is up, we always go to their beds for a bit. Now even when they are sick they want their own beds.
The only real advice I could give is to be open to help from others but comfortable and confident with your own parenting style. Kids are pretty adaptable and what they need more than anything is just a safe environment (and lots of food and sleep).
Also don’t forget they’re little humans. Sometimes they just do things that make no damn sense.
The first few weeks and months will be a rollercoaster. Nothing ever happens in a straight upward line. There will be bad days, sometimes several bad days. Then it will improve for several days, only to backtrack again. Try not to get discouraged. Over time it will slowly become easier and less stressful.
Be mindful of how your partner is doing. Let them have extended time away if it will help.
Never be afraid to ask for help from family (if they can be helpful). One of our biggest regrets was waiting an extra week before asking for help from my in-laws. Best decision we made was to ask for help.
if you don't have one now buy a king size bed immediately
have a plan for sleep training and schedules. it's not always going to go according to plan, but it's nice to have some sort of plan to fall back on. there are tons of examples out there, but Taking Cara Babies is one you can follow on instagram and start getting acquainted with the language.

Find a hospital that will take the baby to a nursery. eff that “keep the baby in the room for bonding” crap. Did that with the first, it sucked. 2nd baby we were in the hospital for 5 days and they took her to the nursery while we slept/rested.
For the first 18 months you’re a supporting character. Just do what you need to do to help the main characters.
Love your kid, consider your partner, don't be a eff off.
You'll do fine.
Do you have a house/apartment with an extra room? Or will you be needing to move soon?Congratulations!

Thanks! I am pretty stoked. All the things I need to think about are overwhelming at the moment. I want some pimped-out baby stuff - but don't want to waste money on Facebook ad BS.

Had the great news on Sunday that I will join the grand fraternity of fathers. Besides brushing up on "dad jokes" is there any other advice on what I should be doing/preparing for the next 9 months?
Congrats, old friend. I enjoy my nieces and nephews but hope not to join the grand fraternity myself. 33 years strong, knock on wood.
