A great, common sense book for expectant fathers. It goes over the 9 months prior to the arrival of baby and the year after. I like the simple checklist and chapter-by-chapter format. It seems like it will be helpful--but I won't really know until next year. :-)

I was definitely turned off by the strong spirituality statements throughout the book as something I did not expect from book about checklists. Otherwise, there was some good information that I plan to use in preparation of the next few months.

A pretty good book of lots of lists of things to do when preparing to become a dad for the first time.
At the very least, it helps you to think of things you probably didn't think you should start thinking about and/or doing.
