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."Review Quotes
"You Got This, Dad is a must-read for any wide-eyed man sailing into the unchartered waters of a wife's pregnancy. My dear friend Aaron draws from years of personal experience to deliver a practical, funny, honest, and encouraging portrayal of the crucial nine months leading to the birth of a couple's baby. Aaron uses wit and humor to paint a realistic picture of what to expect in this season of life. And in case you think it's just a man's opinion, his wonderful wife chimes in with hilarious footnotes throughout to add her viewpoint along the way. This engaging book is chock-full of helpful hints to help any man ease into this daunting assignment in life."

"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."
