Hello fellow Dads! My wife is in the early stages of pregnancy -- hasn't passed the first trimester, but we did have the first ultrasound and can confirm the heart is beating (160bpm) -- but this being our first child I want to do everything I can to support her after the baby is born. I was started listening to the Beardy Dad's podcast (among other content creators) and they mentioned the "Period of Purple Crying," which is the period between ~2wks to ~3/5months when babies will just start crying and nothing seems to soothe them. So any tips on how to mentally prepare for this? Aside from the "Take a 5min breather because baby's can smell fear and will just keep crying." lol
