Best of luck to you all!

I'm still not sure about whether to have a baby cam or not.
A feed to the TV seems a bit pointless. Being able to look
in remotely from work would be nice, but as has been
discussed previously, there are privacy issues to consider.

Of course, when the kids are older a "what are they up to"
cam in the garden will be essential! I can remember
my brother and I blaming each other for stuff all the time.
I'll have the benefit of video evidence :-) How times have changed!

Cheers,
Justin.
