    My H read "My Boys Can Swim" but I don't remember who it's by, he seemed to like it. Laughed a few times....
    Baby, you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales...

    DH read The Expectant Father and really liked it.  It doesn't have the humor but he said it was really informational and got really into it.

    My DH has 2, one is the idiots guide to being an expectant father and the other one is humerous but I don't remember the name of it but on the cover its got a pic of a pregnant womans belly and a daddy beer belly :)  Its written by the husband of someone who has written a few baby books herself.

    How Not To Completely SUCK At Being A New Parent by Scott Feschuk &  Paul Mather. HILARIOUS book and hubby loved it too.

    Your Newborn's Appearance

    You may be surprised and upset by your newborn's appearance. Don't panic! Many newborn babies have dry flaky skin, bulging eyes, and a slightly pointed head. This is normal and a result of either (a) the birth process, or (b) the fact that you and your partner are both ugly bug-eyed pointy-headed people.

    The whole book goes on like this. Highly recommend it for a good laugh with some actual educational content like why your newborn's head really might be temporarily cone shaped.

    Things to avoid during pregnancy: Eye contact with cats. Cats will suck the burgeoning life right out of you, using their infamous feline mind-powers. Avert your eyes, and move along.

    FACT: 1 in 10 people are said to be a carrier of Listeria. Therefore you should avoid all shopping malls, grocery stores and busy street corners for the duration of your pregnancy. Or microwave anyone you contact until steaming, just to be safe.
