So.....do any of you veteran Dads have any advice for this Dad to be?  Any helpful hints or secrets to help get thru the next 8-9 months? 

Congrats, Hawk!

Becoming a dad is life-changing in a lot of really good ways. You'll see when it happens.

For the next 8 or 9 months, you need to be the calm emotional rock to anchor your wife. She'll be going through some changes and that can cause a woman's emotions to become erratic. Help her out, try to do what she asks without complaining, etc. The first few months after the baby is born can be trying as well, but you won't mind so much because it is a labor of love.
