A few things I will emphasize: talk with your wife about how you are going to raise the kids.  Crib or family bed?  Furber technique or attachment parenting? Spanking or no spanking (won't be needed until later, but talk about it before you do)?  Be consistent, you should raise your children together, not each your own way.As for the changes and coping: it can be hard, especially if you don't have friends and family how are in or have been in the same boat.  There will be days it will really annoy you that you can't just up and head off to a gaming convention, or even get an evening out with your wife.  In the end, though, the rewards are worth the troubles, especially if you've got a couple of snugglers like my two are.  There is nothing like laying on the couch and having both kids climb up and lay down with you so you can read them a book, or having them just give you a big hug because they love you.  Good luck and have fun!</blockquote>
