Some advice from a nurse when I had my last kid. "No child ever died from crying, if you need to walk away to take a breather"

Between my last 2 kids there were times where I did get angry trying to soothe them and when your sleep deprived it can be very dangerous.

If your wife is pumping breast milk and you need to warm it up every time you're feeding. I recommend a mini fridge and a bottle warmer combo in the room you're sleeping.

It can freeze the bags and get the next one ready.

Also if you don't already have one, don't get a dog until your kids are a bit grown up and require less attention

You'll feel bad not being able to give your dog enough training and time when your kids require it.

Good parks for kids also ban dogs, so you'll leave your furry friend at home a lot.
