It's Positive! Your wife is pregnant. But you are expecting, too, in a way. You're not a dad yet - you're a DUE DAD...and you don't have a clue what to expect about paternity and being a new dad (in the long term) and having a pregnant wife in the short term. Don't panic - the good news is that you've now made it through the first and second trimesters. Only one left to go. Time to start thinking of names, the nursery, and nesting.

In this lesson, Third Trimester Part 1, the DadLabs dads (all experienced but not so distantly so that they don't know what you're going through and what you need to watch out for) talk you through all kinds of things, including:
- Picking a baby name
- Money and Finances: day care, college, health insurance
- The baby's room (nursery)
- Baby showers
- Cribs
- Cleaning

Even though expecting a baby has nothing to do with football playoffs, grilling excellent steaks, margin calls, fuel injection, or cold brewskis, this series of DadLabs lessons will teach you what you need to know to get you safely and happily to that big 0th birthday:
