How nice, Grange! Wow, 16 years apart, that's like being first timers again!
Okay, one of my necessary things:
Really large swaddling blankets (not those pathetically small "receiving" blankets), to do a true baby straitjacket. Two, so that you've got one if one's been spat up upon and is perched on the mountain of laundry.
We were totally unprepared (well, sort of) for baby #1, as she was early. (Three whole days early. But, we'd planned on doing all the "essential" baby shopping that weekend! ) As it turned out, we needed almost nothing. Car seat to get her home from the hospital, a few tiny outfits, some hats, diapers and some swaddling blankets. |

If you have them early enough the hospital keeps them while you buy the stuff that you need.  |

Me, too. And three other girls at work also fessed up this week (we are all due with a few days of each other. My boss, on the other hand, is having kittens!) It must be infectious or something! |

Well, your boss does not have much of a choice Kittens are in! May he long enjoy them!
We have had a similar thing happening at my work. My boss has added to his grey hair by finding substitutes who need to be trained. Our parental leave is 10 month with 100 % wage or 12 month with 80 % wage.
Downsizer has some interesting months ahead  |
