Hi Justin

>Congrats!

Thanks, it's been a roller coaster ride so far, so can only get worse :-)

>P.S Sorry to the 99.9% of the list that aren't expecting but...

I know but it has either happened to them already, or will in the future..

>Baby tips from the "I wish I had known that" collection:

Perhaps we need to make a list :-)

Dare I ask which one you are now using, - I had thought about rolling my own
(the "nursery" - read my ex office, has loads of CAT5 in it - and I will
soon have audio in most rooms, - seems a shame to add in little boxes... (oh
and I happen to have all my audio kit from when I used to do Theatre sound /
PA) - so I may just put a Radio mike in the nursery and use that into the
HiFi

>Baby baths are crap. Bought a contoured foam thing for the 'proper' bath -
>much easier.

Ok - I'm convinced, but SWMBO isn't (yet) (in fairness she has arthritis and
bending down is problematic)

>Microwave works a treat.

Phew - SWMBO agrees with this, - that's one less baby gadget to buy..

So does anyone have any must haves to go with the baby?
