Product Description

For every father-to-be wondering about life with baby, comes Todd Barrett Lieman s witty ABCs for Expectant Dads. This Go-To Guide for GuysTM includes more than 100 pages of point-blank information from the intriguing APGAR score to all the ZZzzzz s that Dad won t be getting after baby is born!

ABCs for Expectant Dads tells the special guy in your life what s what with fatherhood, from that life-changing, line on the stick moment to baby s first sippy cup.

Says Lieman: It's the ultimate A-Z guide for new dads, as they wade their way through some VERY unfamiliar waters.


Lieman, a veteran writer and new dad, pulls no punches with bright, informative entries like:


Diapers: How can something that seems so harmless be so . . . not harmless?


Fear: Holy moly, you have a kid! What the heck were you thinking?


iPod: The labor process can take hours upon hours and hours upon hours. It can take days. So it s important to have some music in the birth room.


Jealousy: You are gonna feel it. You ll be jealous of your kid. You ll be jealous of your partner. You ll be jealous of your friends that don t have kids. You ll be jealous of the 18-year-old kid down the street with the hot girlfriend.


Layette: An expensive French name for stuff your baby needs ...


Maternity Clothes: Repeat this phrase, Honey, you look awesome in that outfit.


Baby Monitors: Watching and listening to your kid will become an addiction, but is potentially good practice for when she is a teenager and has a boy in the house.


Opportunity Weight: You get to order whatever you want and/or finish what she doesn t. It s great fun!


Poop: It s what you fear most.

Strollers: Shopping for a stroller is like shopping for a car . . . It s the first thing you ll notice when another family strolls by. You ll whisper with envy if they have a more expensive model, and you ll silently mock them if they have the cheap equivalent.

Ultrasound: A serious reality check.

Wife (if applicable): After this experience, if you don t think she s the most amazing person on the planet, you should be shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars I actually read a pregnancy book, July 25, 2007
By Sean Sean (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
OK, I'm not into the whole pregnancy literature thing. I figure the baby will come and we'll deal with it. Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed reading this book. This is the book for the soon to be dad with a sense of humor who just wants to laugh at the craziness that is pregnancy. I recommend the book for any dad to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for expecting fathers, September 22, 2007
Whether you are a veteran father or you are expecting your first child this book is a must have. It's informative, witty and has been super helpful in explaining what to expect in the wide world of fathererhood. It has also helped me understand what my husband is going through as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and educational, September 21, 2007
By Michael F. Wranovics (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was given a copy of this book for a long train ride even though I'm single with no kids on the way. As soon as I cracked it open, I couldn't stop turning pages. It's fun, hilarious at times, and very informative. Thanks to this book, when the time comes (if it ever does), I'll be ready.

If it can grab a guy like me, I think the author may have a hit on his hands.
