I can't speak very much to the technical side. But there are radio waves 
around us all of the time and I doubt wi-fi raises the level very much. I 
smile as I remember the weeks before my daughter's birth and all of the 
anxiety over the chances that something could go wrong. Parenthood is not for 
sissies. But chances are your daughter is going to be fine. You're a smart 
guy. You'll probably make a good father. Relax and enjoy it all. Once they 
get here, it all flies by very fast. I'm sure having a child around will 
bring you a few heart attack moments, but it goes with the territory. 
Congratulations.

And as I always tell prospective parents: No matter how many books you read, 
it isn't going to be enough to prepare you. Expect the unexpected.
