[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3683755, member: 13703"] Oh, and as for gaming, we're taking a wait and see approach. My wife isn't a gamer but she understands that it's something that I like to do. Currently I run a fortnightly campaign at our house on a Wednesday night. I'll be taking a few months off from gaming to see how we cope with the new baby. It may be a great baby that sleep through the night and has no major health or other problems. On the other hand, the baby may be a terrible sleeper that is unlucky enough to have every known health problem known to mankind. We'll just take it as it comes. Provided we aren't totally overwhelmed with the baby, I might be able to start gaming again a couple of months after the birth. That may sound a bit selfish to some people but I think it will do me a lot of good to have a couple of hours break a fortnight. I think that my wife should do something similar to give herself a bit of a break but I can't see this happening (she normally feel lazy if she's relaxing :) ). At the moment we play at our house but I don't know what we'll do after the baby is born. My gaming group doesn't know if we should still game at my house as they think we might get too noisy and wake the baby up. On the other hand, my wife has said that she would be more comfortable if I still gamed at home since I would be there if she needed me for anything. It'd be one less thing for her to worry about. I'm undecided at this point. I have heard people say that babies need to get used to sleeping with background noise, and there will be two closed doors between where we game, and where the baby will be sleeping. At the same time, I don't think my wife will be too impressed if she finally gets the baby to sleep and it wakes up because we were too loud. What have other people's experiences been in this situation? My gaming group is generally very considerate, however one of them can get a little loud at times (and he is aware of this), hence some apprehension on my group's part at still playing at our house after the baby is born.
