This is quite a comprehensive list of things for new fathers to expect when it comes to parenthood, mostly practical too:
"PJ's are a waste of time.
Infants are surprisingly portable. Don't be afraid to travel.
Try to enjoy each age of your child's life.
Learn good lifting technique. Your back is the first thing that will go. A squirming 10 pound baby is harder on your back than a 25 pound toddler who knows how to keep its balance.
If this is your first child, there is no way you can fully prepare yourself for what is about to happen. Try to relax, get some rest and don't panic."

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
I have to say that it has been brilliant this week - the first nappy free week, so we've not had to wash any and the bucket is empty! Yippeee.... (ok, lots of wet shorts and pants, but there we go).
It's important to say that children in real nappies often potty train earlier than those in disposables, partially because of the comfort. Our son has realised that he's much more mobile without a nappy on - he can climb onto more seats etc (but it does hurt more when he falls down!!!!)
