As part of our meager preparations for the arrival of Ken 4*, we've picked up a sling suitable for infants. It's to use while running the errands. Ah, middle age.
Also, we bought our first diapers, and looked at baby carriages, too. The latter of all space age and overdesigned. And priced accordingly.
*My mum's cousin, the second Ken in our family (after my grandfather, who as far as I know was the first), referred to my forthcoming son as "Ken 4" and himself as "Ken 2". This makes my brother "Ken 3", and our family wholly unoriginal.
