Learn how to properly install the car seat. Lots of places, including fire depts, have clinics and can check your work. Do this well before you go to the hospital. Last thing you want is to be fiddling with it and unsure as you head home
Learn how to fold and unfold the stroller. They seem easy, but most have a trick.
Do the night care if you can, especially in the early weeks. Let mom sleep as much as possible. Give her time to take a shower, have a nap, etc.
She's going to have "bad days" and snap/yell. Don't take it personally; her hormones are all over the place! See previous note about giving her time/space :)
You're going to dress/feed/play with the baby differently than she wants. It's ok. As long as the baby isn't too hot/cold the outfit doesn't really matter.
It really does all go by faster than you think it will... my first-born twins just graduated college after being born about 7 months ago :)
