From Bob Schulties, your About Today Editor
It's Friday. You know what that means! Reader Mail! "Dear Baby Expert Bob, Why do people keep having babies? Signed, No Baby Ned." Well, Ned, it's simple. People keep having babies because of baby toes. They are scientifically proven to be the cutest things ever. Ever!

It's Coming! It's Coming!
Gah! I'm not ready. Oh, wait. This is just a newsletter. Sorry, I get carried away. Here's what to pack when it's time to deliver a baby into the world.

OK, Great, My New Baby Hates Me
Oh, I doubt they hate you already. It's called colic and it's awful for everyone involved. But don't freak out. Jennifer, our Guide to Baby's First Year, has some tips to help you. My tip? When it's too much to handle, put baby down in a safe spot and go to another room. One minute, five minutes, however long it takes you to calm down. Then send your wife in. Done and done.

Stuff You Need for Baby
I'm not always the stereotypical guy, but when it comes to clothes, well, guilty as charged. Thank goodness for my wife and her friends who came to our rescue.

When You Have More Than One
My friend Blake has had to do baby introductions three times for her oldest. I figure she's an expert now, so there's no reason to stop having babies. She says that's not really the hardest part of having a baby. Pfft, amateur.
