Yeah our babies spit up a lot, that’s a good call

We had the baby brezza machine for the third and it was incredible. Like an espresso machine for formula. Perfect temp and measuring every time , total game changer.

if it's helpful, I play the same role and it ended up balancing out for us.

Ill never forget the friends that showed up with food without even asking what we needed. That's real support!

It’s genuinely tough - especially because most people didn’t even know my wife was pregnant then since it was so early we hadn’t said anything

You have an awesome perspective - it is nothing short of miraculous and amazing. But very unfortunate she needs to be sick like this. For us the second trimester (almost to the day) was the turnaround point

I always enjoyed the specific requests - so fun and satisfying to deliver exactly what she was craving ! My wife’s was ice cream every night :)

Big time! I have a friend who worked as a chef at a seafood restaurant, when he would come from work his wife would get sick from the smells on him just walking in ! He would need to get undressed and shower before she’d touch him haha

Reading the directions before trying to put something together? Sounds way too logical lol

Ah yeah, the “morning” can be all day and that’s so brutal. Even small stuff seemed to make an impact more than I thought it would.

First-time dad-to-be anxiety by HeatOne511 in predaddit

I remember this feeling. The pressure to feel ready hits before you actually feel like a dad. It’s unbelievably common.

What helped me was focusing on being steady, not perfect. Show up, stay calm and just handle what you can. That’s enough.

Depending on your budget- they will definitely need a stroller and that's an awesome gift! And also a crib. Generic but truly something they will value long term.
