Just a handful of weeks from now Nick Lachey is going to also go by the name “Dad.” The singer, expecting his first child with wife Vanessa Lachey, admits that while he’s received a bit of advice going into fatherhood, he doesn’t think there’s much he can really do.

“I think the constant feedback is, ‘Get all the sleep you can now because you’re not going to get it once the baby gets here,’” Nick Lachey told People, adding that Vanessa’s due date is September 15.

“I’ve definitely tried to take that to heart and get rest before he gets here.”

“I don’t think you can prepare yourself for this,” Nick Lachey added. “I think you just have to know you want to do it and jump in with both feet, and you’ll be great.”
