"Having a baby adds a whole new list of to-dos to your wife's day and to yours. But don't just sit back and wait for things to get checked off the list. Jump right in and be the first one to figure out the best way to soothe your little one at night, or the easiest way to clean the baby bottles. And even though you can't breast feed your baby, you can take over for some daddy-baby bonding time afterwards. Soon enough you'll be doing other great proactive dad stuff like reading bedtime stories and signing up to coach Little League."
I don't think my husband will have any issues with this at all. My husband is a jump-in-and-get-your-hands-dirty kind of guy. He loves to be involved in anything he possibly can be. Our church has game nights every Friday night and you can always find him playing volleyball with the adults or kickball with the kids. He always has to be moving.
That's one of the reasons I think being a stay at home daddy will work for him. With a baby in the house, he will never be able to sit still. He will always have something to do. Even when the baby is sleeping, he can do laundry, clean the bottles or the house or even go to his garage and work on things for his business. He will never be bored!
I guarantee he will be proactive with sports. This baby is going to know everything there is to know about baseball before he or she is even born! I think my husband is most looking forward to sharing in things like that with his kids because he didn't have that growing up. He can't wait to play catch with his son or attend a dance recital for his daughter. I know he wants his kids to be proactive so he will be too.
