I would love to give great advice, but my kids are so old by now and times have changed in 20 years! I can't believe it has been 20 years... anyway...

I can't advise on great new baby gear, but my best advice is to be careful about asking for advice. What works for some parents/babies doesn't work for others and what doesn't work for some... And you'll be getting lots of unsolicited advice. Way more than you want. Everyone feels like it's perfectly fair to weigh in on your pregnancy/parenting/children without even being asked. As excited as you are now, you will see that it can get frustrating at times. Advice on what to buy in advance can be helpful, though.

Yay! What a great time for you! I'm so happy and excited for you. Congratulations and very best wishes.
