I Can't Wait to Meet My Daddy is a special gift for an expecting dad.

I purchased this book for my son who is having his first baby. I read it before I gave it to him and I was in tears. it is so beautiful The pictures alone are lovely but the words....are precious. When I gave it to him, he was beside himself with joy. It was written all over his face....and in his voice. You must purchase it. You won't be disappointed.
