Loved that book! I highly recommend it.

That said, nothing will prepare you for the reality. It’s like learning to swim in a lap pool, then getting dropped into the ocean in the middle of a storm.

Just learn as much as you can, talk to as many people as you can, and prepare yourself for the fact that you will not be prepared.

All good! Other than that, there’s nothing like a child saying “I love you too.” So, it’s all worth it once you get to it.

Congrats!
