Hey there,
I saw in the post below you mentioned that your DH stays home with your DS. My husband is going to be a first-time SAHD when we have our baby in December, and I was just curious how your husband was liking it and if he had any resources (playgroups and other activities, websites or books, etc.) that he would recommend to a new SAHD.
Thanks!

Re: **kokomama**
Hey! Congrats! Sorry it took me so long to respond. Also, did you used to go by another screen name? Your avatar looks familiar.
DH loves being a SAHD! He loves all the quality time they spend together. My son is such a daddy's boy, probably because of that.
As for resources, he doesn't really use any. He enjoyed going to Kindermusik with DS - he was the only "dude" there and everyone was really friendly (his exact words.) He also said to change anything that says "Mommy and Me" to "Daddy and Me." Right now, he is taking DS to Safe Start swim classes at the Y in the morning, and he found out there are Mom/Baby swim groups and exercise classes that he's going to start attending.
Yup, I've been on the nest a couple years, but my old username was my real first name and real last initial and I decided to change to something a little more private after I got pregnant.
That's so awesome that your DH is enjoying his time as an SAHD. I think my H will enjoy it too. Thanks for all the suggestions!
