Whee! Congratulations!
Two pieces of practical advice:
- When changing his diaper, have a cloth or clean diaper at the ready. The moment you flip down the front of the dirty diaper, drop the cloth over his front. The sudden exposure to cool air will often trigger him to pee, and that way he won't hose down the walls. (Mine once managed to pee in his own ear.)
- When he has a stuffy nose, stick a wedge (such as a couple of books) under the head end of his mattress. Having his head slightly elevated will help him to breathe a little easier and will help him sleep.
One piece of philosophical advice:
- It isn't as scary as you think it's going to be.

As I understand it, only the food which is being advertised has to be real. So, if you're advertising cereal, the "milk" can be white glue, but the cereal has to be the real product.

Minor error - the Crystal Cathedral is in Garden Grove, CA (in Orange County), rather than Orange Grove.
I attended a wedding there once. The inside kind of reminded me of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, with all kinds of greenery in unexpected locations.
(Also, they advertise a "Glory of Christmas" pageant every year, with live camels and sheep and whatnot. They are nothing if not dramatic.)

I'm with Denita TwoDragons. I'm a girl, and would have loved this book growing up. When we bought a house a few years ago, one of the things I was happiest about was the patch of woods adjoining the back yard; I can see my son playing endless games of "Desert Island Castaway" or "Fearless Explorer" in a few years.
Even better, there's a creek that runs through the back of the property. So there'll be frogspawn to catch, weird waterbugs to study, sticks to float downstream, elaborate mud sculptures to build, rocks to collect and polish.... The kid's only three, and I can hardly wait.

Even though this sounds fairly icky at first glance, it really isn't all that different from the fermented fish sauces used in a lot of Asian cooking today. You can get a fairly good idea of what garum tasted like by tasting a little nam pla or nuoc mam.
