This. Absolutely 1000%. To be honest,my son wasnt planned,and I had a hard time getting into the pregnancy mostly due to my immaturity and thinking I didnt want kids. He is now almost 2.5 years old and is an amazing little boy. It seems like so long ago he was super tiny and just slept and pooped all day. Now he is very active,has a personality of his own,LOVES the Brewers and is growing more and more every day. It definitely goes by way too quick. On the carseat thing,I would check with the hospital at which you are planning on having the delivery at. Alot of hospitals with L&D departments offer free carseat events (they sometimes even will give you a carseat for free for taking the class) and they sometimes have "daddy boot camps" which new dads come in with their babies and help teach things like feeding,diaper changing,etc to soon to be dads. Another resource for carseats is www.safekids.org. they have a listing by area of free carseat checkup events. My department just put me through this training (car seat technician) a couple months ago and there is tons of information that can be useful for new parents.
