New Dad at 40 Aaron Charles Sylvan

Pssst.... this is from one Dad to another. If you're past your 20s (and 30s), and you just found out that your wife is pregnant, you are probably full of questions (and fears?) that few people can answer. Some of your friends have kids who are already grown up, and the rest of your friends probably don't want them. If your parents are still around, they might barely even remember the issues you're about to face. What does it mean to start the journey of fatherhood a bit later in life? I was in my 40s, and terrified, even though I always knew I wanted to be a Dad someday. (Just not THIS day!) When you find out that Baby is coming, it's both wonderful and frightening. What should you expect?So right now you're probably a bit freaked out, hopefully you're also happy, but above all you're BUSY! This book is mercifully short, direct, and to-the-point. I anticipated your questions about what you should (and shouldn't) be afraid of, what your shopping list should look like, and a healthy dose of encouragement. Don't worry... you've got this under control.
