Just wanted to record a few links on stem cell-rich cord blood, which you can either cryogenically preserve on the off chance that your baby will need it later on (Wikipedia gives the odds as 1 in 2700) or donate to a local blood bank. Here are a couple of FAQ's, and here is a warning not to be vulnerable to emotional marketing.

Yes, my wife is pregnant -- we're expecting a girl in November.

hey! that's great. congratulations.

(though i guess it's the rearing and not the conceiving that's actually an achievement)

i hope she lives a nice healthy life with you and your wife and then lives a nice healthy life when she parts ways with you a couple decades down the line, having grown into a capable young woman.
