Right on Ian... Congrats!! I too am about to be a father for the first time, my little girl will be born on October 1st. So yeah, I've had 8 months to think about it. I'm nervous but extremely excited at the same time, and I cannot wait for the little one to get here.
You're gonna be fine bro... Things like this have a way of clearing your mind and letting you see what ya gotta do.
