Sleep when you can. As the father help as much as you can. Don't worry about giving the kid a bath for the first month or so - it's not doing much to get dirty that you aren't cleaning up anyway.
Poo starts to get more of an odor as they get older. You will be amazed where at how high it can shoot.
Sleep whenever you can.
They don't do much for the first couple of months. Put the baseball glove, football and Barbies away for now.
Clear out space in your freezer for frozen meals. They're much easier than "from-scratch" and sometimes heating up a frozen lasagne that your mother-in-law made a month ago will save your marriage.
Sleep when you can.
They sleep great for the first week or two. You're going to wonder what all this talk of babies not sleeping is all about. Then the wheels will come off. Hopefully they'll be back to sleeping through the night by 4 or 5 months, but don't count on it. It took our oldest until 9 months. So.....
Sleep when you can.
