Ask HN: Help We're having a baby. Now what?

My wife and I are expecting our first child in a couple of months. We've started preparing for the delivery and everything that will follow thereafter. It seems that there is a lot of conflicting information out there and at times seem quite overwhelming (i.e. safety of plastic vs. glass bottles, different types of strollers, wrapping the baby in tin foil help thwart the NSA from spying on baby's activities, etc.) Since there is no comparison to tried-and-true experience, I wanted to ask the HN community for tips and tricks that helped you when welcoming your first new geek into the world. What type of hardware (strollers, carseats, cribs) did you decide on and why? What other equipment was essential? What are the best apps (parenting tips/tricks) for hackers with newborns? What are all the good docs (websites/resources that helped you)? Should we implant the GPS chip at birth so that we don't need to do it by force when baby becomes a teenager? And most importantly how did you manage to balance working/hacking with all the new responsibilities that a newborn brings along with it.

Any guidance is greatly appreciate and will definitely be considered for inclusion into v1.0.
