I decided this first tip will be my first blog entry - what a way to start a blog of tips by a new daddy and maybe my 10,000th tip will never be so far away. 1-2 tips a day would hit that target by the time my first kid is 20 years of age or so. The first 5 minutes with Haruka was spent greeting her and she was looking around the room curiously with eyes wide open and her eyes were actually circling round the room. She was wondering wow- where is this place - its not filled with water anymore. Yes, her eyesight will be blurry upon birth but that still makes for a new sight for - compared to being in the womb. And I realised even after a month after her birth, Haruka could recognise my voice. She could probably even remember it from her mummy's belly, as I noticed how she responded when she listened to my voice especially in her first 1 month when her vision was blurry.
So remember to leave your lasting deep voice, daddies. Its important. Of course, that means you will have to accompany mummy in the surgery room.

Try talking my husband into accompanying me into the delivery room! This tough military man whom I am married to doesn't want to be by my side when the baby arrives. :( Apalah!
Its hard to change a person's worldview in 1 day. In a marriage, there will be so many different views of things. Never start with the conflicting world view/viewpoints. Start with the common shared ones. Sometimes after so many tensions and differences, one thinks that even there seem to be few common grounds, but think hard with a heart of love and compassion and there will be so many common grounds. From the common grounds, be gentle and love genuinely and show you care. Then slowly, the human soul responds to recipocrate. If not, ensure no time is wasted in prayers. And finally, maybe what you want is not as important after all as you realise God provides His grace richly. And your act of love stirred a good response in another area.
