Congratulations, I'll smoke a pipe in celebration today!

I always tell new dads this little tip. It will save you many times in the first 3 years. Call it what you want the "Shit happens emergency kit" The "Daddy saves the day kit" Put one in each car trunk.
Put some wipes in a zip lock sandwich bag. Put that bag in a gallon size zip lock bag with at least 2 extra diapers and a change of clothes for the kid and a T shirt for you and a bottle of drinking water. Hand sanitizer DON'T forget the hand sanitizer!
One time my son had a blow out in his diaper at a department store. All over a display and me. The wife had used all the diapers on that trip. She looked at me in horror! I pulled the don't worry, I'll handle it, you keep shopping. Went to the car cleaned up the little poop monkey, changed my shirt. Put the dirty stuff in the bag. When she came out we were chilling happy in the car clean as a whistle.
Stuff like that will happen and if you can deal with it with out adding stress to your lady's day. You will win some good daddy points in her book.

Brilliance.

Congrats on new addition! Now you have 9 months to save up for some riddiculously expensive cigar to smoke on his/her birthday haha!
+1 Buster.
The trunk is a great place for Multiple "Emergency Kits"
Put some pipes and extra backy in there too. :D
You know... "Just in case"

Congradulations! Being a dad is pretty much the highlight of my day, every day.
Buster's advice is excellent; and although you will be innundated with tips over the next nine odd months, here are a couple that I wish someone had told me before my boy was born.
1) Take a couple of candy-bars into the delivery room. Your adrenal system will have been running in overdrive from the time the first contraction hits, and if it's a long labour, your energy level will be nada by the end of it. My sister-in-law had to bodily carry me across the room to cut the cord, as I discovered my legs just simply refused to do anything constructive (until the kindly nurse brought me some juice).
2) Receiving blankets and face-cloths. You can never have too many of these on hand. Seriously. If you think you have enough - go buy some more. We found Duncan burned through half-a-dozen of each on any given day.
3) Bite the "manly image" bullet, and go join all the baby clubs through companies like Gerber, Pampers, Huggies, etc. You get an amazing amount of free stuff over the first 18 months of your kids life; not to mention access to online, emailed, and snail-mailed coupons that can save a small fortune in incidentals like diapers and wipes. Don't forget the Facebook portal, too!

Congrats brother. It's a ride like no other. Once the little one smiles at you throw all the other emotions out the window. Nothing else compares

No where near ready to be a dad myself, but I do congratulate you! Hope it works out for the best!
