I wasn't able to stop by during your shower. Since this is your first  
baby, I know that you are likely to find having an infant quite a  
learning experience. And being active in the SCA will add some  
concerns that mothers who don't go camping, much less trying to camp  
with a pre-1600 appearance. Here are a few Florilegium files which  
might be helpful.

Oh! You don't want to be that period? Then try these in the CHILDREN  
section:

in the SCA.

I know you already do a fair amount of sewing, but perhaps some of  
the comments in this file from women who have faced the same issues  
might be useful:
