Congrats!

The best advice I could give you is to not worry to much and to cherish every moment you have with your child because they grow up a lot quicker than you anticipate. Be a parent first than a friend. Your child will always be able to find friends but having a parent is someone thats always going to be there. Be loving and make sure they know that they are loved.

Also when having a new born the best thing to do is of course breast feed but if you aren't producing enough then you should do both breast feeding and formula. Also once you get out of the hospital and you get home, you will be very very tired and the best thing to do is always try to get a nap when your baby is sleeping. The baby will probably wake up ever 2-4 hours and you'll have to feed him. Also since you haven't had your baby you should take to it, because when you do have your baby and you talk to it, it will defiantly recognize your voice. It's good to sing as well because its very soothing when they are born and upset sometimes. Stay within 6 inches of their face so they can see you when they are first born and I believe they can see about 2-4 inches more every week.


LOL, I don't really know what kind of advice you wanted.
