Congratulations mate,
I had similarly practical thoughts when my son was born (he's 6 months now) like "he's got massive red bollocks, Jesus".
The start is hard going (as every fucker has been telling you for the last 9 months) but the thing to remember is that it is totally properly absolutely worth it. Even in the middle of the night when you'd give him away to a total stranger for free, totally worth it.
Congratualtions to you and your lady:D

Cheers :-)
What people didn't warn me about is that the wailing is something they learn after a few days, at first we thought we had the calmest baby ever concieved.
He's yelling himself red right now ;-)

Happened to me too
Me the wifeface sat there smugly telling our parents we had a "really placid baby" while they smiled knowingly.
