This is the book my brother gave me before Zacharie was born.
On the surface, Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads
If you get this, or you’re giving it, you need to make sure the book is read. It’s written in guy’s language and explains exactly what’s going on, much like the What to Expect When You’re Expecting
and What to Expect the First Year
The book offers tips to entertain a toddler, how to properly photograph and video your toddler, how to cope with crying, and most importantly, it offers this sketch:

My husband purchased this book for our first born and we BOTH enjoyed the realistic information that it provided us. Most of the books geared towards mommy’s to be don’t even provide some of this great info!
Skip Hop Studio Diaper Tote Handbag is awesome.So a lot of pockets – and not really those small, worthless pockets, either. All of the pockets are a excellent size and really aid keep everything organized. The handles are a great length and fit nicely more than the actual shoulder; the tackle straps also remain put on my own arm, which is actually important when you’re holding a baby. The bag appears good, too. Not as well fancy, but not too casual. (I’ve it in black) The material is soft (can’t feel of a greater word) so it’s easy to squeeze in to tight spaces – but yet it’s sturdy. I’ve a Fleurville Lexi carry and I really like it, too, but this tote is actually kind of inflexible. I think this Skip*Hop can turn out to be my everyday tote. It’s a bit large – so if you are not in to significant hand bags this may possibly be much better as an over-night baby diaper tote.
