So today was conception day. I'm scared, nervous, and excited. Just wanted to let it be known. Any tips would be wonderful. My wife has already had a child who is 6 now, 3 when I became his dad so she knows what she is getting into but I'm still in the dark. Any advice for a poor fool?

@mayduavongts A) congrats & good luck. 12 weeks is the magical safe zone so keep us informed.

B) the beginning is a lot of fucking work, but it gets better and easier.

C) the best advice I can give, as a daddit of all of 3.5 months is not to have any expectations, work together, and come back if you feel weird, overwhelmed, stressed or heck, anything positive too!
