1) No matter how little sleep you get or how often you get up with your baby during the night, Daddy will be more tired than you the next day.
2) Approximately 5 minutes after giving birth, your child will outgrow all of the clothes you have bought them.
3) Only about 10% of the 'must haves' you bought will be of any use to you.
4) The other 90% will become the obstacle course that helps get you back in to shape.
5) You'll be surprised at how many 'Baby Experts' you'll meet - friends, colleagues...the bin man - they all missed their calling and could give Heidi Murkoff a run for her money.
6) Babies have awful skin - worse than any teenager - and, no matter how calm you are, you'll be at the doctors (more times that the receptionist) asking them to rule out meningitis.
7) Nothing wakes a baby faster...than getting in to bed, yourself. (That's fine - sleep is for the weak!)
8) Baby hasn't pooped for a while? Put a new nappy (diaper) and their fanciest outfit on. If that doesn't inspire a blow out, nothing will.
9) Housework is for the insane; ignore the mess and enjoy the baby cuddles.
10) Your heart will break, melt and explode, simultaneously, every time you look at your baby. They'll destroy your world in a second and become the centre of a whole new universe. Enjoy every second!
