daddy info

So its my second but my husband's first and i want him to know what to expect i try to explain it to him but he's not really receptive. Also he's very sensitive and i know last time when in transition i was really mean i don't want him in the room if i say something nasty and he get his feelings hurt then I'll have to deal with that. Any good reads for suggestions on how to educate him

My husband isn't a reader and he isn't really into taking about how to be prepared for the baby.  I an also very blunt and he is more sensitive.  So I just let it go thinking he'll figure it out when the baby comes but now that we are in our 31st week, he started asking questions and doing his own research. It just had to be "more real" for him if that makes sense.  I did email him a brief checklist of stuff to do before and after the baby arrives, and that sparked his interest because he wanted me to explain it lol.

Youtube! Men tend to do better with visual aids. Lol or look up articles on babycenter.com? What to expect when you're expecting is a great book for him to know everything you are going through.  I think they also make one more geared toward daddy as well.
