Don’t worry about being a great dad. Being a great dad isn't about holding the baby just right or knowing how to burp her or being a willing participant at an imaginary tea party. Being a good dad starts with being a good husband.

Being a good dad starts with getting involved in the entire prenatal process and embracing that experience with your wife. So if you really want to be a good dad, make darn sure you’re a good husband, because great husbands become great dads.

If there’s one thing your baby needs, it’s a stable, loving home. Work to make your marriage rock solid. The good dad thing will follow, guaranteed.

Once I understood this, I slowly felt the pressure ease from my shoulders.

That same saying was on the card I bought my husband to tell him I was pregnant... "Great Husbands Become Great Dads" it's true! Great post and WELCOME to the tribe!
