It's official...November 23rd Well it was just confirmed that my wife is pregnant and is due November 23rd. I am really looking forward to this step in my life but then again am pretty worried.
I really don't care wether it's a boy or girl as long as it's healthy and likes bowties. I just figured some of you guys could chime in with a little advice on making things go smoothly over the next 6 months or so.

Oh Congratulations!!
My only Advise is to learn two important words and use them often and wisely "Yes Dear"
(<-- That's you, not the baby.)

A little thing i learned.....Go to her doctor appointments.Make time or whatever you must go. The pregnant women seem to be less bitchy and critical of the man that knocked em up.

Congrats! In addition to Tom's suggestion of going to every appt possible (you can always step out of the room if there is going to be something going on that you are not comfortable with) I suggest getting an expecting father's book - I think one is called "What To Expect When Your Wife Is Expecting". It may sound corny, but it will explain what is going on in her body and why she may burst into tears or tear you a new one for no apparent reason 
Also, do NOT tell her she is just being paranoid if she has concerns. Don't diminish them ... you never know when she may be right. THREE TIMES I was right that I was in premature labor ... once I ended up getting a shot to stop it, once I ended up on meds for 8 weeks, the second time I had a preemie ... if I had not followed my intuition all 3 would have been preemie, and the youngest would have been alot earlier than he was. Women just seem to know if something isnt right

Thanks for the tips guys...
NautyAngel...we already have that book, and we've been reading it together...a lot more than i could have imagined. But thanks for the advice.
