I'm Going to Be a First-Time Dad: A Manual for Not Fainting in the Delivery Room

I'm Going to Be a First-Time Dad

A Manual for Not Fainting in the Delivery Room

"Luke, you need to sit down." "Why?" "Just sit." (On the edge of the sink, a test with two pink lines.)

A friend told me about his nine months of waiting: a gym teacher who faints at needles, gets dizzy from the smell of a diaper and, even so, ended up a father.
