Product Description
Finally?A Pregnancy Book That Won't Put Men to Sleep
My Boys Can Swim! tells real men everything they really want to know about pregnancy, such as: How much is it going to cost? Why does your wife primp before seeing her doctor when she hasn't put a stitch of make-up on for you in months? And, most important, what's it going to do to your sex life?
This rollicking, laugh-out-loud book is for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information, without all that boring touchy-feely stuff you find in those books written for women. Inside you'll discover helpful?and hilarious?information and insights on such topics as:
The Maternity Wardrobe: "A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwear?parachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman."
Baby Names: "Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'"
The Birth: "No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead."

 Great Daddy Book August 18, 2008

This book had my husband chuckling all the way to the doctor's office with me! Quick and funny. Great for any new daddy who doesn't want to read the encyclopedia on what's going on with new mommy!
 A pretty brief account August 11, 2008
I was surprised by just how short this book was. I bought it for my husband and while he quite enjoyed it I think it was a bit lacking in any real information. I think it's more of a short comedy book than an actual guide to pregnancy.
Funny book - he'll definitely read it July 28, 2008

My adorable husband is oh-so supportive of our first pregnancy but he definitely draws the line at reading the baby books. I got him this book based on one of the other recommendations and he has had a blast reading it. I would hear him laughing in the Dr's waiting room when he accompanied me on my OB visits and his presence was not required. He is already recommending it to friends that are "trying" and I'm sure it will get loaned out quite a bit. I have read it - it's a humorous look at pregnancy from the man's POV. I like the fact that it reinforces that we women may be a bit emotional and hormonal (so true) so give us exactly what we want and don't give us a hard time. :)
Great read for first time fathers! July 7, 2008

We are pregnant with our first child. I bought this book for my husband. He wants to be informed, wants to know what to expect, but does not want to be overwhelmed with each and every detail. He loved this book. Read it basically in a day. He said he would pass it on to any new fathers. It as small, simplistic and written from a guys perspective. Great!
Hilariously Funny, Laugh out loud book June 24, 2008

I bought this for my husband and I wanted to read a little bit to make sure it was the right book for him and I couldn't put it down. It has some funny stuff in it. He's very honest about things and I thought it would be very appropriate for my husband who's been wanting a baby for a couple years now. Totally funny, recommend it for any man who's about to have a baby or who wants one.
