Congrats, and welcome to the club man. My wife and I had our first two months ago (damn does the time fly); if you have questions about anything or are looking for advice from a regular guy who just went through it, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.

A few quick pieces of advice:
1. Invest in a changing pad (although most diaper bags come with one), and try to always change him on it. You will save yourself the trouble of cleaning the couch, bed, carpet, etc.

2. When changing a diaper put the new one under the old one. I quickly learned that babies love to mess with you by peeing mid diaper change. Having that second one ready greatly reduces that time that the pee can get on things that you don't want pee to get on.

3. When the kid takes a crap, don't change him right away; wait five or ten minutes for the aftershock.

Sorry these are all bodily fluid related, but it seems like that is a third of a baby's life (eating and sleeping being the other two thirds).

But most of all, enjoy every second of it. The time REALLY flies by. I feel like it was just a week ago I left the hospital with my daughter.

Congrats brother, the adventure has just begun!

I haven't changed diapers in years, but that is some solid advice from jcolan. With a boy it's even worse.

Hahahah! This couldn't be more true, especially #3. It literally just happened to me. I was changing the kid and UPS rang the doorbell with an excellent bomb from @ducttapegonewild. I strap the diaper on and sure enough right then 2 bombs got dropped.

Also, invest in duct tape.

My wife wasn't too thrilled about me duct taping the kids down, but once they hit the terrible two's she started to appreciate it more.

Now that the youngest is four, she really appreciates it.
