Re: Good books for first time dad???
DH is reading this also. He likes it....always says to me "well my book said this......"
I got my fiance The Expectant Father and also, this one: https://www.amazon.com/Pregnancy-Sucks-Men-Miracle-Miserable/dp/159337156X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1301589983&sr=1-2
It is funny but still informative, unlike some other "funny dad-to-be books"
DH liked My Boys Can Swim. He actually read parts of it to me and it was pretty funny!
DH read Expectant Father.
For actual baby care info, I love Baby 411. It's succinct, direct, and SO informative about how to care for a baby. Perfect for a dude and for new moms.
DMoney will be a kickass big sister
My DH is not a book reader- however we both got alot from The Happiest Baby On the Block DVD. It was wonderful and some of the techniques used DH used in the hospital. It was something nice for us to both do together to prepare for our DS.
My DH is reading something with "Caveman" in the title. Pretty straightforward and entertaining. I can't remember the exact title.
I have every pregnancy book under the sun, so he's also learning a lot from me reading little snippets to him...(whether he likes it or not is unknown!)

Mine picked out that one, too. It's called The Caveman's Pregnancy Companion. https://www.amazon.com/Cavemans-Pregnancy-Companion-Survival-Expectant/dp/140273526X There's also The Caveman's Guide to Baby's First Year that I'll probably pick up for him when I'm ready for What to Expect During the First Year.
