Congratulations! We are waiting for pictures and a new blog!
You should brush him to help out with shedding and prevent blockages.Clip his nails when they need it. As far as the baths, not unless there is a reason. Bathing isn't good for them. Here is a nice cheat sheet for reference.

Hey there! Congratulations 
. Rabbits are magnificent little creatures. I am still amazed by how spunky,intelligent and fun they are to be around!
You can groom your bunny witha brush every few days when he isn't in a moult. The general every day petting helps a lot.Wetting your hands slightly and just petting him helps to remove fur as well. When he is shedding and loosing fur, you need to brush him every day to prevent him from ingesting too much fur.
Rabbits are very clean little animals and generally don't need baths. A rabbit should never have a full bath as it can send them into shock and they loose the natural oils in their coats. If the rabbit does become dirty or has a messy butt, you can give him butt baths.
Here's more about butt baths just for future reference.
