After each trimester, the author provides readers a checklist of things to make sure you do as the father of the child.

In each trimester section, the book breaks down development into months. Each month has a summary of what to expect throughout that month of the pregnancy. This includes an illustration of the developing baby, size comparisons, and development milestones upcoming in the month.

From there, things get broken down into weeks. Each week, Kulp provides a high-level overview of what the baby is up to and what the mom is experiencing with her body. These sections provide ways you can help out each step of the way — whether big tasks or small. That was clearly what the author was going for.

Those are things I like. The author worked in comedy. Obviously, humor is part of his personality. Humor is a dangerous realm these days. If you buy this book, know that it will contain humor. That humor may or may not land for you based on your personal tolerance for humor. The book is also written for first-time fathers. If that sounds like you, the book is an enlightening read as it provides a lot of helpful high-level insight. So, just to summarize — The book is a humorous delivery of high-level information to those who are going to be first-time fathers.

I learned a lot in this book. Before it was in my hands, I was shocked when my wife was experiencing morning sickness at what I thought was week 2 of her pregnancy. A lot of the high-level information had me thinking, what do they teach us in school? Maybe I was taught these developmental stages in high school biology and just threw it out of the old filing cabinets of my brain in favor of being able to quote random lines from The Office on a dime.

This book put into perspective that now is the time to start to take on the brunt of the work around the house. A discussion that is one of the many recommended conversation starters in the book. If anything, reading the book has provided an adaptable roadmap for my wife and I to navigate such a life-altering event that neither of us has experience in.

For that reason, it was a valuable read for me. That feeling stuck out to me.
