The DO List (a dad's opinion)

[In my first installment of my suggestions as a new dad its just my opinion!  And it relates to MY situation.  I have no expertise except for the training I am getting now! -(other peoples babies do not count as experience for your own)-]

First thing in the morning when I wake up, do I hear the baby crying? No? Well then I start the coffee and jump in the shower before anything changes!

This especially applies if YOU are the current Mr. MOM...But it doesn't matter whether your wife, babysitter, or nanny is there because they will probably have some things they will need you to do if you are going to be sticking around once the baby does awake, or start crying because he/she will NEED someone's full attention!

If your not a coffee person you probably will be soon.  If not, get the shower first!

Its nice to be refreshed with a little caffeine in you when you get the 'do list'.  Daddy do this, daddy do that...
