So like the title says, our first baby will be arriving around August 15th! I'm not new to photography anymore, however I am new to portraits and newborns! I've done a lot of reading, but wanted to get some TPF input. If it were you, and you having all the time/occasions to setup/learn with your own child... what would you have equipment/prop wise? I've done a ton of reading, and come down to a few things.
Current equipment is : d7000, 50/1.8, 18-55 and 55-200 kit lenses, and sunpak flash listed in sig
First off, I know natural light is best for babies, but my wife is getting me the kit below for my birthday so I can learn a little about lighting... so if theres some tips for using these lights with babies please forward them my way! I will eventually get a set of battery packs for these as well.

Also, I figure a reflector kit of sorts, still learning/deciding on which. Suggestions welcome.
What other "must haves"? My time is getting limited and I'm trying to get a list of things to order together for when she arrives and I'm getting right overwhelmed with trying to make up my mind. I guess being my own child, and our first I'm putting a lot of un-needed pressure on myself.
In short, if you were doing a newborn shoot with your own child (time wont be limited is my point) what would you bring/have?
