Great group here and proud to be a part of it. I’ll pass on the best advice anyone ever gave me as a parent. Some days are long, but the years are short.

You need to expand on that, some days are long, but some nights never seem to end. Newborn has a 6th sense if you are rocking them to sleep standing up or sitting in a chair. You might want to have a saddle setup in the house when you find that she does not like you holding her sitting in the PacSeat.
 
My wife and I can tell ya, never has a car ride done so much to save the parental "psyche" when the crying doesn't seem to subside. Another thing that was helpful to me was a fridge magnet the hospital gave to us about newborns. It said something along the lines of, "Remember, your baby cannot talk so they cry to communicate. " IT had a checklist of like five things to go through. 1. Temperature -If your hot their hot, if you're cold they're cold; 2. Hunger- feed them, 3. Gas or burp them. 4. Check the diaper and change it. 5. Teething pain. Give them a pacifier or something cool but soft to ease the teething pain. Take shifts with your wife too so each of you can get balanced rest.
 
Changes be a comin’ man. Missed the auction, but I’ll chip in if ya have another. Them little snot nosed jokers are expensive. Congrats and best of luck. it’s a journey for sure,
