Great list - we actually brought a carry-on luggage for the hospital so you don't really need a new bag. As for "how to be a parent" manual, I think the best one is experience! Like a friend said to me, "You will think you are ready, but you won't be" - I think it just a faith adventure and trusting the Lord for parenting skills. Besides, you and Shannon are great people and I think that is best pre-requisite you need! As for the sleep deprivation - I never heard that there was something available for that. Currently, Deb is on mat leave so she wakes up ever 2-3 hours at night for feeding and I try to help when I can, but usually get 5-6 hours. Have fun! Hey Jason!
