Actually, you have some experience from your start-up. Babies and a start-ups have so much in common. They both leave you sleepless, make you think about them all day, make you feel like they are the meaning of life, grow fast in front of your eyes, and interact with you more and more every single day. Well, congratulations! I'm a hacker's wife and a non-technical co-founder. I and my husband are the two partners of our start-up. You may start working on these issues: * Read about baby care (birth to 6-8 weeks), and start chatting with your wife, so that you can start building your parenting style. Baby care is not difficult, but there are lots of different paths to follow. If you learn in advance, you will fell more confident and need less trial-and-error. * It's best to limit your working plans for the 0-3 months, best scenario with a nice sleeping angel baby will still be quite hectic. * Getting help from relatives, friends and even neighbours can do a lot of difference. You can take care baby, but it would be nice if someone can care for you in the meantime. * If you have not yet, read about sleep depreviation. Motivate your wife to rest as much as she can during pregnancy and following birth. * About the routine, it seemed not so important to me when I was pregnant, we were not the routine type of couple. It turned out to be very important. When you set a routine, baby knows what's next, so she relaxes and be much more cooperative. And when you know what's next, you can plan your day (no, not boring, believe me). * Take your family outdoors frequently. It will help your wife to recover. * You'd better spend some time evaluating baby products to be familiar with market. I'm not telling you to buy things in advance, but in some cases a small stupid-looking gadget can save you lots of time. * Add some parenting blogs to your reader, especially some of those informative/experience sharing ones. Good luck on your geek fatherhood journey!
