Don't worry too much pretty much the first time your wife visits the OB you get
all kinds of lists of things to do and that included more classes than I could
have ever thought of myself.
Just make sure you wife goes to the OB as soon as she can after you find out
she is pregnant. As long as you have an OB worth their salt they will give you
all the information you could ever need.

Well I know I have moved 90 - 95% of my collection to the basement already :-(
We have an old house with a stone foundation. The Basement is dry but not
really finishable by any streach of the imagination. If we had 1 more room I
would take that but that room was/is the baby's room now.
I do still have some MOC's and the UCS sets in the main part of the house but
those that I can't keep out of reach will eventually find their way to the
basement as well. Durring the summer its not bad at all to work down there.
It is well lit and comfortable. It does get a might bit chilly in the winter
though. So its Primo and Duplo for me for a while I think except when I can
sneak a little time in the basement durring naps etc.
It will be quite exciting in a few years though when I can share my collection
with my child thought :-).
