Re: Manly diaper bags
We have a JJ Cole because a friend of mine from high school owns the company but it's pretty girly.
We just had our first one and it's a challenge even with two of us. I'm glad your family will be there to support him. the first 6 weeks are overwhelming and then you start to feel like you can handle it. Even if you're not there, calls of encouragement and support will go a long ways.
Also, Costco has coupons out from time to time for a pretty good deal on diapers and wipes. Stocking up on that kind of stuff along with easy to cook meals before the baby gets here can make things less stressful.
Another thing is that amazon prime and amazon mom can get you in on some good deals and free 2nd day shipping. A few cases of pampers swaddlers newborn size will go a long ways getting him started. They're pretty nice because they have a stripe in the front that changes color when their wet. I was a nice feature for me as a new dad. You could use amazon and have them shipped to him.
My boy is 10 weeks old now so a lot of this is fresh on my mind. Let me know if you need any more ideas, there are tons of things you could get him.
