Sounds like the other bees have given you some great advice but I also just want to assure you that just because he's not actively researching, doesn't mean he won't be awesome. My husband didn't read much of the information we had but turned out to be absolutely awesome during the labour and delivery process anyway. Definitely recommend the birthing classes though, think that really helped him absorb the info!

@Mrsk: this inspired me last night to ask my DH when he was going to start researching. He asked me how long until baby was here? This annoyed me as he knows I'm almost 9 weeks and did not know a pregnancy is even 40 weeks! This in turn led to us argueing about how I research everything and go through everything and he does nothing.
Pregnancy hormones are raging, I'm still mad today about it. Haha. -
Nope! only after I mentioned did he buy a "get ready to be a dad" book from b&n and i dont think he ever got past halfway. He did take a few classes with me at the hospital. and kept up with the weekly pregnancy apps on the ipad. now he always tells me to ask HB now.
he'll research online with medical stuff we run with ds

At first, my DH did not, but then I think he started to get frustrated that he didn't understand what was going on. So, I found this book, which has been really helpful: http://www.amazon.com/The-Expectant-Father-Dads-Be/dp/0789210770
He's read almost all of it and now will randomly reference it when we're talking about baby things. I think I tend to forget how empowering the wisdom of the 'bee can be, especially with regards to what's going on with my body right now. I know he feels a lot better having something to help him understand it as well!
