One thing I think is good to prepare for is that its perfectly normal for it to take a while for you to form a real connection to the baby. There’s a big expectation that as soon as you see them the first time its going to change your life etc etc, but its not necessarily as life changing to the dad straight away.

For the first 6 months or whatever the baby will not make eye contact with you or care too much about your existence whereas the mother has already been living with them for 9 months.

That being said (this is the important bit) you should still note that there is nothing short of breastfeeding that you as the dad cannot do, so don’t fall into thinking the mom knows everything better and they should handle it. You can change the diapers, wash them, dress them, sooth them, put them to bed and all that and if you are using formula or pumping you can feed them too. Try to do that stuff as much as you can, because while you might be stressed and feel out of your depth, the mother has had a literal human crawl out of them and are feeling all kinds of things you cant imagine.

And if the mother is breastfeeding, every single time she starts to do that you go and get them a bottle of water, because they are going to ask for it .

And take a lot of pictures since you wont remember much due to the sleep deprivation.

i thought mt rushmore itself was pretty wack but I guess it's something to see. you can drive down the highway a little bit and park on side of the road and walk in for free. in the black hills tho, custer state park was sick with lots of wild animals to see and make sure you check out sylvan lake too, really beautiful.

on your way to the badlands, make sure you stop at wall drug which is total tourist crap but I loved it

I find dunk sb to be not consistent when it comes to sizing. Maybe different materials size different.
Anyone noticed it as well?? Or I'm trippin

Had the same problem with the newer restock Dunks (black pair). Different size for me than the "old" pairs.
Also bad quality, one shoe had a rounded toebox and the other was more dress shoe-ish although both the same pair.
So my guess is also material/ quality dependant.

Everything was rad, sick, gnarly or awesome when i was a kid.

The key is keeping it that way as you get older.   

I will shamelessly drop out of date slang.  I think it’s hilarious.  I am what I am, what can I say?
