You Got This, Dad: The Expectant Father's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy
Ebook
Overview
What to Expect When You’re Your Wife Is Expecting
Pregnancy books for couples abound, but You Got This, Dad is
just for guys. Aaron Sharp, a dad of four, draws from his
experiences to help husbands, especially first-time dads, navigate
the amazing, uncertain, and sometimes scary process of pregnancy
and childbirth.
With self-deprecating honesty, plenty of humor, and amusing asides
from his lovely wife, Elaina, Aaron steers soon-to-be dads through
the complex events and emotions surrounding pregnancy. From finding
out their spouse is expecting to bringing baby home, husbands will
be equipped to handle whatever the next nine months (or their wife)
throws at them.
Guys will receive not only practical guidance but also a better
appreciation for God’s miraculous gift of a new life to care for.
When they know what to expect and how to support their wife, new
dads will gain confidence and learn to laugh at their
foibles.
Give this guide to an expecting father with a reassuring smile and
remind him, “You got this.”
“I often get annoyed when people are cleverer than I am, but
this time I’m good with it. Probably because I’m maturing. Nah,
that’s not it. You Got This, Dad is more than clever. It’s
helpful. It’s deep. It’s practical. It has perspective. Aaron Sharp
has given us the whole preggie/parent package, great for anyone in
the thick of it as well as those of us who love a host of
chucklesome reminders.”
