Congrats! A bit of meta-advice: - as you may have already found out there is no shortage of opinions and advice, so the challenge is picking out the right advice - what worked for my family was to ID role model parents, e.g. parents that we knew who seemed happy, and sought our their advice. We actually interviewed a couple and took notes via laptop, and that served as our blueprint. - we also identified anti-role models, e.g. parents that seemed to be beaten down by the process or were overly paranoid, and disregarded their advice or decide to not be like them. - resist the urge to buy a bunch of stuff, instead get a free subscription to amazon prime (via the amazon mom promotion) and get what you need on a JIT basis.
