Being a new parent takes planning, endurance, and technology. Perhaps
you only slept 30 minutes last night, but science is on your side. Here
are a few gadgets to help new parents go the distance. 
Quick! Your baby is cooing in the swing. Do you have enough time to shower? Do you have enough time to landscape the backyard?
