Greetings Elrique,

Congratulations, it seems we share the same birthday!

For those in the SCA who now have a baby there are a few files in the 
Florilegium that might be of interest. I highly recommend those that 
detail how to keep your baby safe at SCA camping events and those that 
might help ease the work of caring for your children. Here are a few 
from the CHILDREN section:
babies-msg       (103K)  2/ 2/01    Camping with babies.
baby-gifts-msg    (20K)  4/13/98    Period-type and SCA-useful baby 
gifts.
baby-slings-msg    (9K)  2/ 2/01    Cloth slings for carrying your baby.
child-wagons-msg   (7K)  9/27/99    Wagons for hauling children at 
events.
p-cradles-msg      (5K)  9/ 7/01    Period baby cradles.
teething-toys-msg (22K)  1/ 5/01    Period and SCA teething toys for 
infants.

And for those whose babies are still on the way:
pregnancy-msg      (9K)  9/ 3/99    Pregnancy in period. Handling it in 
the SCA.

...and for those who would like to start such a project in the future:
aphrodisiacs-msg  (15K)  7/31/01    Medieval aphrodisiacs.
